In order to become sustainable, most groups will need to bring in income from various sources, which can include subscriptions, donations, fundraising, grant support, and, potentially, earned income. As groups grow they may also consider delivering through contracts.

- Donations & in-kind support
- Fundraising events & activities
- Local councils & ward funding
- Trusts & foundations
- Statutory funding
