if anyone has any ideas about funding, our colleagues @bordercrim.bsky.social have an unexpected shortfall for their communications work...
I know there is a lot going on in the world but @bordercrim.bsky.social facing a funding crisis to stay meaningfully afloat. Initially in search of £12,000— any ideas of where to look gratefully received. Feels like a bad time to have our platform shrink.
