What it costs
QSA is committed to cost-effective, sustainable fundraising from a diverse range of different sources. A small central team of 1.6 FTE produces communications and publicity materials and raises all the funds needed to run our five programmes, around £1 million pounds every year. Our efficient spending and fundraising means tha just 7% of our expenditure goes on generating funds: the remaining 93% keeps us supporting people living in poverty.
We raise a mixture of grants from trusts and foundations, corporate support, individual donations and legacies from our supporters, earned income and some statutory funding. This broad spread has allowed our services to remain buoyant in the face of recent challenges such as public sector funding cuts. Given the competing pressures facing many who invest financially in our work, QSA is extremely grateful to those who are committed to supporting us to push for social justice for people on low incomes in east London.
