Funders and partners
Invest in a community that runs on volunteers
Revive brings around 150 families together in Stockport and Manchester. This page sets out what we deliver, who benefits, how we are governed and where your support would make the biggest difference.
Why fund us
Your grant goes further here
The people who deliver our work are volunteers from the community it serves. Funding pays for the space, the equipment and the essentials; our community brings the time and care.
Volunteer-powered
60 volunteers give more than 600 hours every week, from Friday socials to summer camps.
Rooted in local families
Around 150 families take part, with 120–150 people through our doors every week.
Safe and well governed
A board of eight, a named Designated Safeguarding Lead and deputy, and eight published policies.
Clear costs, protected assets
We publish our running costs, and a statutory asset lock keeps our assets and any surplus working for the community.

Financial controls
How we look after money
Our Financial Policy sets out these controls. They apply to every grant, donation and payment.
- Two authorised signatories, who are not related to each other
- Every payment over £1,500 needs both signatories
- Cash is always counted by two people
- Restricted grant funds are tracked separately and spent only on what they were given for
- Zakat is kept separate and never used for running costs
Revive Community Centre CIC is not a registered charity, so we cannot claim Gift Aid on donations. Every donation goes to our community work, protected by our asset lock.
