Support Required

Funding

We are researching a government grant for money to help start our business and advertise it. Our goal is to have a social enterprise that is accessible and cheaper than other mental health support systems. We aim to have fundraisers and get donations from companies and volunteers to contribute to our funding and keep the business running. With this money, we will need to pay our professionals whilst making a sustainable profit. 

 

Advice
