Support our work by donating. Your gift helps fund youth groups, counselling referrals and community events across Milton Keynes & Bedford.
How Q:alliance is funded
Q:alliance is funded through a mixture of grants, contracts, fundraising activities, membership contributions and individual donations. Grants from statutory bodies and trusts fund specific programmes, while unrestricted income from donors and supporters helps us keep core services running.
Why donations matter
Donations give us flexibility to respond to need quickly, maintain safe spaces, and invest in staff training and safeguarding. When statutory funding is limited or earmarked for particular work, donations allow us to fill the gaps and sustain vital day-to-day services.
What donations enable
- Running youth groups and drop-in sessions
- Providing confidential 1-to-1 support and referrals
- Delivering training to schools, employers and community groups
- Maintaining outreach and community events
- Producing resources and running our heritage/archives projects
