Successful retention of volunteers surely has similar values and practices for charities to consider when retaining donors, funders, members, and staff? So with that mind in this NEW Community Life Survey 2023/24 reveals that formal volunteering declined from 27% in 2013/14 to 16%!! What are the causes of that then? I am not sure the reasons given for not volunteering (work, other activities, and children) reveal the underlying issues of that decline🤔 #Charity #Volunteering

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 271, offers guidance on the act of giving charity. It suggests that both public and private acts of charity hold value, yet there is a distinction in the benefits they offer. Donating openly can serve as a form of encouragement and inspiration for others to contribute, thereby fostering a culture of generosity within the community. However, the verse emphasizes that giving in secret, directly to those in need, holds particular merit. This private act of charity cultivates humility and sincerity within the giver, devoid of any desire for recognition or praise. It establishes a profound connection between the giver and the recipient, allowing for the preservation of dignity and respect. Thus, while public charity serves its purpose in inspiring collective action, the act of giving in secrecy carries a deeper spiritual significance, fostering genuine compassion and selflessness within the individual. #HumanityPerth #FundraisingForChange #SupportingHumanity #PhilanthropyPerth #CommunityEngagement #ImpactfulGiving #HumanitarianEfforts #GiveBackPerth #EmpowerThroughGiving #DonateForChange #CommunityBuilding #HumanityInAction #PerthCharity #CaringForOthers #SupportLocalCauses

It's Small Charity Week, and the fact is, many of us in the UK believe our government should do more to back small charities. With the cost-of-living crisis worsening, over a quarter of us turn to these organisations for weekly support, highlighting their critical role in our communities. 🌟 NCVO's latest insights reveal disturbing trends: a significant portion of our population relies on small charities as the last resort for essential services. They're not just nice-to-have; for many, they are a necessity. 🏥💚 Everyone can contribute. Consider donating or volunteering - it's time to simplify the process and amplify our impact. These charities are at the heart of fighting loneliness and building community bonds, but they need our reinforcement to keep doing their vital work. 🤝 Want to make a difference? Connect with P4 Recruitment. We value the profound impact small charities have and strive to support their mission. Join the conversation and discuss how we can empower these local heroes.

Just over a year ago we launched the Norfolk Vision for Volunteering. This brought together dozens of organisations - from charities, to employers, to councils and statutory services - to work together to halt the decline in volunteering we've seen across Britain over the last decade.👥 Over the last year we've continued to work with these groups and are seeing some really positive actions to increase volunteering. This not only benefits charities and VCSE groups in Norfolk (and with it wider society), but also gives the volunteers opportunities to learn new skills and make new friends.🫂 That's why today we're focusing our #adventcalendar on the progress our Communities Team and the wider Empowering Communities partnership have made in this area.🔍 Read the Vision for Volunteering document here:🖱 https://lnkd.in/eJ8cdgbW #visionforvolunteering #corporatevolunteering

Volunteering your time and abilities for a cause is another way to give back. Organizations need volunteers to continue operations smoothly and make a change.

What could $339 billion do for charities? A few smart updates to outdated laws could unlock funding for critical causes like food security, housing, and the environment—without costing taxpayers a dime. Public support is strong. The next step is to push lawmakers for change.
