I am delighted to share that CooperVision and CooperVoice – Employee Forum have completed a two-year partnership and fundraising effort for Southampton Hospitals Charity – Southampton Children Hospital. With ALL our colleagues' generous support from Delta Park, MountPark, and Brunel Way, we raised an impressive £30,000 throughout many the series of events.   The team's dedication to making a difference in the lives of children and their families was recently celebrated in a discreet manner. Representatives from CooperVoice and the Distribution & Packaging Senior Managers Andrew Hinton and Gary Lonsdale presented the cheque to Beth Head of Charity Operations.   This success is a testament to the power of collective action to create positive change and inspire others to join in the spirit of giving. I am proud to be a part of this community of caring individuals who strive to make a difference in the world. Thank you all for the support and let's continue to work together towards achieving a positive outcome in our communities.   #CooperVision #CooperVoice #OneCooper #SouthamptonHospitalsCharity #Fundraising #PositiveChange #Community #MakingADifference #SouthamptonChildrensHospital

One last shameless plea from me if you've not been asked before: The Tendring4Growth business awards are open for nominations and I wondered whether I could ask for your support, if you feel that it's deserved! Categories that I believe I could qualify for would be 'Creativity & Culture' and possibly 'Community Impact' (but am happy if you feel that you'd prefer to nominate me for others!). Some of the things that I'm involved in, which steer me towards these categories are: * Creating and organising Art Around the Walls Event (Manningtree Art Trail) * Coordinating Manningtree Events flyer * Christmas Card Competition - raising funds for the Rotary Club to donate to local charities * Hosting the Pride Auction - again, raising funds for local charities * Co-ordinating the Manningtree town map and creating the town website behind it. * Sail Loft Gallery - providing a supportive space for artists and makers to exhibit with me. My email address is sam@navistitch.co.uk. Thanks so much in advance - here's where you can nominate: https://lnkd.in/eHuNAg9c (closing date is tomorrow, 30th June). . . #tendringforgrowth #tendring4growth #businessawards #tourismaward #creativityandculture #independentretailer #smallbusinessowner #tendringdc #navistitch #navistitchmanningtree #manningtreeessex #smallbusinessessex

Last night I had the pleasure of attending an event that Circa Theatre held to celebrate the 20th anniversary of support from a key sponsor, Shoreline Partners   Having spent the last 20 years in the NGO space, I know that sponsorship is tough on both sides of the fence. So, 20 years is a big achievement. Talk about partnerships.   I’ve always said that as a charity, if someone wants to give a one-off donation, I would be very grateful. But if you want to make real impact, you need an ongoing commitment because no leader can run a business (commercial or NGO) without some certainty of their budget from year to year.   Things I loved about last night: - Brian Steele saying that at Shoreline Partners, they put aside a certain percentage of their income each year for community giving. Imagine if every commercial organisation did that what that would mean to the community sector. And how much of a greater impact they would make for society. - Circa Theatre took the time not just to thank their long term sponsor, but to do it in a public forum and to make an event out of it. I think a risk for the charitable sector is that they forget that all relationships should be two ways. So If someone does something for you, it’s only right if you do something for them. In the case of sponsors and donor, it’s about making them feel valued and appreciated.   What great partnerships have you seen between a community group or NGO, and a long-standing sponsor or donor?

You may not know but I am on the Council of the Foundation for Human Potential, which is dedicated to supporting and investing in individuals, innovations, and infrastructure that propel human potential. We're doing some research interviews on what donors look for when selecting a charitable organization. If you are donating to causes this year, would you be available for a quick interview so that we can understand a bit more about what criteria you look for in an organization? Do you have 15-minutes to do a research call with me?
