Developed to help the philanthropic community and other stakeholders to support long-term, sustainable change for people living at the intersection of poverty, violence, trauma and oppression. The SHIFT Toolkit will help you to understand a wellbeing orientation and how to utilize it in your work. In it you will find concrete examples from organizations who are working to strengthen informal supports and build community.

On this #WorldRefugeeDay, amid numerous global crises, children now account for 40% of the 117 million forcibly displaced people around the world - and these children are facing unimaginable challenges. With your support, displaced children can overcome trauma, return to school, make new friends, find support systems, and discover hope through play. By investing in their education and harnessing the power of play, we empower them to rebuild their lives, reignite their dreams, and emerge as the leaders of tomorrow. Thanks to our generous supporters, last year we reached 90,000 forcibly displaced children in 9 countries. Join us in making a difference today. Displacement shouldn’t limit children’s rights or their futures. We can bridge the gaps children face and create hope away from home. 🌟 Donate to our Children's Emergency Fund to help children heal from trauma through the power of play and provide them with the chance to resume their education. A £35 one-off gift could give children affected by displacement, conflict, and poverty access to vital psychosocial support. ➡️https://ow.ly/lGNc50Smg7u #WorldRefugeeDay #HopeAwayFromHome #WithRefugees #PowerOfPlay #RefugeeSupport #StandWithRefugees #EveryChildMatters #ActNow

Transparency and vulnerability build trust. When ministry leaders share their own stories and create a safe space for others to do the same, it fosters a culture of trust and openness. Trust is essential for effective ministry, as it encourages individuals to seek guidance and support.
