Walsall Business Support Fund

Every pound of the £25,000, itemised and balanced.

The grant buys the capital equipment and fit-out that make the sanctuary possible. The founder contribution covers everything the fund cannot: licensing, furniture, legal cover and a working buffer. Together they total the full £29,000 project.

Debt-free by design

The grant buys the sanctuary outright, so month one starts with no equipment debt.

Owning The PYRAMID, the crystal, the recliners, the acoustic fit-out, sound system and filtration outright keeps fixed monthly overheads lean at £4,380. That is what allows a £25 two-hour introduction and a £10 subsidised off-peak rate without compromising the centre's profitability.

Every surplus pound from year one — projected at £41,890 — is retained and reinvested into local Walsall jobs and additional chair capacity.
