Had some good progress this week although not as much as I would have liked!

I decided to start applying to get some funding, up until now I was sceptical as to whether it was a good idea. I guess having little money come in changes that perspective! So this week I have spent a lot of time trying to nut out exactly what it is that the business is going to be doing and putting that into words. It is an interesting learning process and some of the things that the funds are asking for are things I hadn’t considered before so it is good to think about those things. I am very lucky to have meet Sara who is going to help me get the application all sorted, she has done this kind of thing a lot before which is great because the more I look at it I realise I have no idea!

Apart from that I have spent a lot of time looking up and contacting organisations that work with youth. The plan is to find one that would be a good fit to work with. So far it has been quite promosing and next week I have a couple of meetings to discuss what we are doing.

It is great that everything is progressing nicely, but the big push for next week will be to actually do some paid work as I did none this week! I am hoping to get around 30hrs in, possibly more if I work all night :)
