This £250 will allow us to meet the accountants secretary function costs. Doing so allows us to appoint a new board of directors without the requirements of their personal details being publicly available on Companies House. Doing this also takes the pressure off our cash flow, allowing us to offer 'pay what you can' self defence workshops without the risk of us being out of pocket if none of our attendees were able to pay to attend. This ensures there are no financial barriers precluding people from attending our sessions and it also allows us to focus on the sessions themselves and everyone attending without the worry of meeting the venue hire costs. The sessions aim to build confidence and coordination as well as offering self defence skills that could prove vital. We believe that everyone should have access to this opportunity and this will certainly help with that. We expect that the £250 will meet all of the venue costs and will also allow for DBS checks to be carried out on volunteers, this will help with the training, development and opportunities that we can offer volunteers and give more opportunity to increase our reach too! This is really valuable to us and to those attending and we're delighted to be part of the POP community.
