FUNDRAISING
Bradford Cyrenians has developed and
approved a fundraising strategy for the period 2008 – 2012 with an
action plan that sets out our fundraising ambitions during this
period. Our fundraising
committee meets regularly, and consists of staff and service users
working in partnership to achieve our goals, and in turn improve areas
of our business.

As a charity
we rely heavily on any financial support that we can fundraise for
and therefore our fundraising committee is integral to this
work. We value the input and commitment
from service users, as we recognise partnership working in the true
sense helps service users to develop new skills as well as increase
ownership in Bradford Cyrenians and its service delivery.
Through our
fundraising initiatives we have achieved many positive outcomes such
as the refurbishment in 2008 of our hostel lounge. We were also successful in
securing funding to create an I.T suite for our Hostel users. The following is a list of our
achievements and developments from our fundraisers initatives.
