WAITS is proud to be part of the Forever Fund initiative, led by the Women’s Resource Centre. This programme is designed to support women’s organisations in building long-term financial sustainability and resilience.

The Forever Fund focuses on helping charities like WAITS move beyond short-term funding cycles by developing strategies for unrestricted and sustainable income. Through this initiative, we are exploring new approaches to fundraising, strengthening our financial planning, and ensuring that our services can continue to support women for years to come.

Participation in the Forever Fund has provided WAITS with access to expert guidance, peer learning opportunities, and practical tools to enhance our organisational development.

'For Better Futures'

Supporting women’s organisations

in building long-term financial sustainability and resilience

It has also encouraged us to think more strategically about how we communicate our impact and engage supporters.

For a charity that relies heavily on donations and grants, this work is essential. It allows us to move towards a more secure financial future, where we can plan ahead with confidence and expand our reach to support more women affected by domestic abuse.

Importantly, the Forever Fund is not just about financial growth, it is about sustainability with purpose. Every step we take through this programme is rooted in our mission to empower women, amplify their voices, and create lasting change.

We are excited about the opportunities this initiative brings and look forward to sharing more updates as this work progresses.
