In this solo episode, Aishat shares a powerful sustainability check-in for community-led charities that are constantly delivering but rarely have space to breathe.

With honest questions and practical reflection points, this episode is for anyone who feels stuck in “project-to-project” mode and wants to shift towards long-term sustainability.

KEY TAKEAWAY

• Reserves aren’t hoarding; they’re protection. Even a small pot can offer breathing room.
• Focus is a form of sustainability. A one-page plan can keep you anchored.
• Being reactive is not the same as being strategic. Make sure new funding fits your mission.

BEST MOMENTS

“Resilience doesn’t come from more money, it comes from managing what you have with intention.”

“When everything lives in your head, your charity’s future lives there too ; and that’s a heavy thing to carry alone.”
