I have a potential make or break meeting at 11am. Perhaps I shouldn't have spent the first two hours of the day on here
I hope it does too. I've not really got any influence in the meeting though, its between a local authority and the board, I'm just there to answer the technical questions
We need to get some funding before 30 September otherwise we close. If the local authority could give us some money for the short term to help us survive whilst searching for more funding it extends that date. Depends how much they are prepared to give us as to how long the 'short term' is but £10k would see us here until February (seven rather than two months to get money in). Also discussing work we can do on their behalf which we would get paid for. This would help us become more sustainable. We are 57% self-sustaining now so we do generate a fair chunk of cash already.
I know, I keep joking too (probably not best since I'm the boss ) because you have to laugh don't you
Went well and opened a few eyes. Got another meeting on Monday afternoon and again on Tuesday afternoon
More specific please. 'Went well' = got the money? 'More meetings' = not got the money yet but think we will?
Potential for some money (about £5k) but more meetings first The future work that would help us become more sustainable went well too but thats not going to happen overnight.
