Positioning Youth To Prosper (PYP) is constantly looking at ways to raise funds and generate a regular income in order to remain sustainable. Everything we do is for the benefit of the families we serve, however it can be really difficult at times because we have to budget so carefully. This is because we are not yet in a position where money is coming into the company on a regular daily basis like high street and online shopping stores, and even they struggle at times. 

​

Our Fundraising Initiatives provide a solution to our financial problem by providing members of the public and businesses with numerous ways in which they might consider 'giving' to a worthy cause. This includes

  

• Volunteering your time

• Making a Cash Donation

• Making a Resource Donation

• Purchasing our Products & Services

• Crowd Funding (collective community effort)

• Using your Corporate Social Responsibility (For businesses)
