Well I knew at some point this was going to get really hard. We need money, desperately, we are taking on clients at a rate of knots and what is really exciting is that those clients are really getting better. Nothing is more rewarding than that. The speed of dwed's development is breathtaking but we are at breaking point resources wise. There is only so much I can physically do, in 4 days out of the week before my own health starts to suffer. There is only so much that my volunteers can physically do. The demand for our services is increasing exponentially showing that now is absolutely the right time for DWED. I couldn't be happier about that but I am also very tired. I think that one of the things I am finding difficult is prioritising. How can you possibly prioritise one case over another when you are so painfully aware of the consequences, nothing is more important to me than supporting my clients one to one. Of course the problem is that I still have to be aware of my other responsibilities as the director of a registered charity. This comes with so much red tape that it can be overwhelming and then of course I also have to worry about money. I think I have been avoiding this as it feels very difficult to try and put a value on what we do, or how to quanitfy what our support means to our members. Without money though we can't function. I wouldn't have DWED any other way, I can't adequately express just how proud I am of everyone at dwed and how far we've come. I guess this is a plea really for anyone who knows about fundraising applications to please get in touch and help!! Or anyone who wants to raise money for us to get in touch. I can't tell you how much we need it.
