This communique is to advise you that SWEP has just received a non-recurrent allocation of funding today that will need to be spent by the end of the financial year (this Friday) in order to meet both our funding body and BHS's acquittal requirements.
The way we are allocating the funding may initially seem confusing and not appear to align with our Priority of Access Guidelines, but it is important that you understand that the funding has been targeted for those people on our waiting list who are over the age of 65 and require specific categories of equipment. We are very excited that over 2,780 people will benefit from this funding.
To ensure that funding is fully spent, SWEP staff will be concentrating on raising over 4,100 purchase orders over the next two days and as such, we ask that you hold off on contacting us until next week unless it is urgent.
There will be further activity over coming weeks as we coordinate delivery to our clients, and you may be required to confirm no change to original recommendations or suitability of items. We know you will be just as excited as we are about the difference this funding will make for our clients.
We thank you in advance for your support during this period.
Kind Regards,
Jeni Burton
