LIFT taking off Print E-mail
Friday, 29 May 2009

The latest issue of New Sector magazine has a feature all about brap's third sector support project LIFT. There's a brief taster here - click 'Read more' to read the whole article or download it iconhere(71.22 kB).

Still in its first year, it quickly emerged that one of the main challenges facing Great Lakes was to secure funding so it could stabilise itself. In response, LIFT is offering a number of areas of support. Not only is it helping to develop the organisation’s business plan so it has direction and focus over the next few years of operation, but it’s also helping Great Lakes plan for bids more effectively. This includes practical guidance on where to look for funding options and advice on fund raising.

However, navigating the funding minefield is only part of the challenge for Great Lakes. “It’s difficult for everyone setting up” Henri says, “but the challenges are different for new African communities. If you want to set up a charity or social enterprise, there’s so much you need to know. So while you’re trying to adapt to a new country, and worrying about sending money back home, you’re also trying to set things up - it doesn’t always work too well!”

Responding to this challenge requires both flexibility and determination. “The situation Great Lakes find themselves in is not so different to that of many third sector organisations,” Emma explains. “It’s important for us to build our support around the issues that affect them. More than anything, though, it’s important to show that you’re passionate about the organisations succeeding.”
