Our Funding

Thank you to the funders and partners who make our work possible.

As an independent charity, we depend on funding to keep our doors open year in, year out. Here are successful funding bids we have secured. Bids take a long time to put together and maintain — it is a never-ending process of applying and monitoring — but without this vital work, we would not be here.

We want to thank all our funders for their continued support, and the trust they put in Park Farm Community Centre to deliver projects for our community.
