cartwheeling around the office
Big Lottery Fund have informed us by phone that, although the paperwork might have got lost in the Christmas tidal wave (curses on them for not using Recorded Delivery, or anything!) they have awarded us the Schools bid as well as Cars for Carers.
We've done the double! Fundraising said no way we'd get both, but we have! That's three members of staff saved that we couldn't afford to lose, two important projects that can now begin to forward plan again. Woo hoo!
And this is what life in the voluntary sector is like...
Earlier whinges are, of course, completely forgotten about in all the excitement. :)

Go you. Go pat Cyril on the head just for the hell of it *g*. A little exuberance seems reasonable, no?

Not sure he'd like patting on the head, but I shall go and buy his paper for him at lunchtime without any feelings of begrudgement. ;)
We're so, so happy about the funding. I mean, it isn't as if we asked for all that much, in the grand scheme of things...compared to other things they fund, our two little projects are fantastic value for money. But corporate people don't always see it that way...
And, Yay! again, just for the heck of it.
