2024 has been a really tough year for many of us ❤️🩹 But our sector's superstars made the dark days that little bit brighter. And they deserve a BIG shoutout 🙂↕️ So, tag someone who has: - Inspired you this year - Gone above and beyond for their cause - Made a tough project happen - Supported their team through challenges - Lifted others up when it mattered most - Made a lasting impact in their role - Led with kindness and compassion Crown them this year's Charity Champion 👇 #CharityWork #SocialGoodSector

How we hope every email finds you for the rest of 2024: P.S. Have a wonderful festive season! We hope it's full of joy, rest and precious time with loved ones. Thank you for all of your support this year; it truly means the world. Love, the Fair Collective team 💚 Illustration by @orangejuicefordinner (on Instagram). 

TGIF! (No, that doesn't stand for "To-Dos Grow Infinitely Fast".) It means it's *finally* Friday - so, the #VictoryVault is OPEN for submissions 😌 • Remembered to bring in your Secret Santa? • Replied to that overdue email? • Made room in your freezer? • Get some lovely feedback? • Simply... made it through the week? What are you most proud of this week? Add your wins to the comments - we're here to cheer you on 💚 #CharitySector

It's normal for year-end to bring highs *and* lows. So try to: 💚 Focus on what you’ve achieved, not what’s left undone 💚 Let yourself feel both proud and tired 💚 Celebrate your organisation’s impact; acknowledge the lives your charity has touched this year, not just the hours you’ve worked 💚 Step away from the noise - turn off email notifications! 💚 Spend quality time with yourself/loved ones (These things will recharge your energy far more than checking off another task.) #MentalHealth #CharityWork

Here's what's behind the reflex response, "Good thanks, just busy!" 👋 PSA to charity leaders: stepping back ≠ letting things slip. Your organisation won't collapse if you take a few days off. By taking time to rest, you're showing your team it's okay to prioritise wellbeing. (That's leadership in action, right there!) P.S.

Should *all* leaders get coaching? Well, yes, if you want: 💚 To grow in a specific area (like creating a better work/life balance) 💚 Help to work through where you are → where you'd like to be 💚 New techniques for dealing with life's challenges 💚 Encouragement/challenge/accountability “Coaching was a game-changer for me. I’d recommend it to all charity leaders. And I’d say do it before you think you need it, it’s worth every penny to keep you standing!” - CIC Managing Director • Read Natalie Tucker's blog post here: https://lnkd.in/enwQcf7J • Find your charity leadership coach here: https://lnkd.in/eyGEJrKc #LeadershipDevelopment #Charity

Sometimes, securing funding takes a fresh approach. So this year, we stepped up to support ADHD Embrace with just that 👋 Our wonderful Collective member, Kate Woode, worked on: 💚 Rebuilding their case for support to accurately reflect their services 💚 Drafting tailored funding applications The result? → ADHD Embrace had a more stable financial rooting → They were also able to employ a part-time fundraiser for continued growth With day rates based on income levels (plus 50% of profits donated to super small charities!), Fair Collective is your feel-good go-to when you need an extra pair of hands.
