Keynote Speech: Grant funding for Holistic Health with Philippa Allenby, Director of Spring to Life CIC

Spring to Life has been in business since 2002 and was one of the first community interest companies to set up in 2006. It works with a range of clients in Birmingham, including delivering programmes in deprived areas to those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access wellbeing services. As one of the Directors of Spring to Life, Philippa will share how this not-for-profit company has grown into a medium sized CIC and what funding streams it has used. As well as the fulfilling community work, Spring to Life sees itself as a holistic business that takes care of its staff as well as its clients, with self-care high on its list of priorities.
