Funders & partners
What your funding actually buys
We know what a good funding relationship looks like: clear numbers, no over-claiming, and a delivery partner who tells you early when something isn't working.
Our funding model
Three income streams, one purpose
We deliberately don't depend on grant income alone. Trading income keeps the lights on when funding rounds move.
Earned income
Paid mentoring, corporate impact days and commissioned work. This is our most reliable income and it subsidises everything else.
Grants and trusts
Restricted funding for specific projects: the Men's Shed, rescue provision, equipment and free mentoring places.
Community giving
Sponsorship, regular donations, animal sponsorship and local fundraising, small, loyal and steady.
Governance
How we're held to account
Wild Mind Well-Being CIC is a community interest company with an asset lock: what's built here stays in community use. We file annual accounts and a community interest report.
We hold safeguarding, health and safety, data protection and lone working policies, carry appropriate insurance, and DBS-check everyone working with young people or vulnerable adults.
Policy pack available on request, most funders want it, and we'd rather send it up front than make you ask twice.
Reporting
What you'll get from us
- Agreed outcome measures set at the start, in plain English.
- Attendance, engagement and demographic data collected as standard.
- Narrative case studies with consent, not lifted anecdotes.
- Interim and end-of-grant reports on your template and to your deadlines.
- Photography and film where consent allows, usable in your own reporting.
- An early phone call if something isn't working, rather than a surprise at year end.
With thanks
Organisations who've backed us
We're grateful to the partners and funders who've helped make the work possible.
Referral partners
Working with services, schools and health teams
GPs, social care, drug and alcohol services, schools, job centres and community teams refer into us regularly.
- Referral is a conversation, not a twelve-page form.
- We'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit for someone.
- We work alongside clinical provision rather than duplicating it.
- Named contact for each partner organisation, so you're not chasing a generic inbox.
- Social prescribing link workers are very welcome, get in touch and we'll walk you round.
