Rapaid Emergency Bandages’ Post

One of the often overlooked consequences of a cost-of-living crisis is the impact on charities. When people have less, they have less to give. There are 27,000 registered charities in Aotearoa, many of which provide life-changing services to our society's most vulnerable. As discussed in this RNZ piece, too many are now struggling to make ends meet. To all those currently working in the charity/non-profit sector- you are not invisible. Thank you for all that you do. https://lnkd.in/gUcC9r6e

You know how to make a difference Briggs Equipment UK Ltd! That’s why the NSPCC wants to become your next charity partner. By working together, we can make a real difference by raising the vital funds needed to stop child abuse, which half a million children in the UK suffer each year. Just imagine, your support could help enable the NSPCC to answer the calls made to Childline - one child calls us every 45 seconds! These calls really do make a difference to the children who call us. What we ask of the team at Briggs Equipment UK, is that you vote for the NSPCC to be your charity of the year, resulting in you leaving a legacy for children in the UK. You can support the NSPCC too by sharing this post with your Briggs Equipment UK colleagues and contacts. Thanks. #MakeADifference #CharityOfTheYear #NSPCC

UK's Economic Dark Days bringing Charities to their Knees: ◾Less government funding for charities. ◾ Higher costs for charities. ◾ More people needing more help. ◾ Less disposable income for people and organisations to donate. It is a molotov cocktail and the rag has been lit. Many are already suffering. I speak to struggling charity leaders most days. I am concerned about our present and despair for our future. If you can afford to give a little more to help charity, please reflect and consider doing so. Check out the comments for the full story of why one of our finest is axeing one in seven of its workforce. #ukeconomy #donate #charity

In an era defined by ever-evolving societal needs, the demand for charitable services is mounting at an unprecedented pace. However, challenges in charity recruitment are making it difficult for organisations to provide the vital services that communities rely on. The blog below goes into how to overcome charity recruitment challenges. #tpp #boardrecruitment #charityrecruitment

Tomorrow is the International Day of Charity. Charities are the lifeblood of hope for countless people. But today, these organisations are facing unprecedented challenges.

Your generosity can make a world of difference. Let’s support, uplift, and empower our communities to weather this storm together. #InternationalDayOfCharity #SupportCharity #GiveBack

This is an important post by the brilliant Fair Collective highlighting power imbalances in the charity sector. It is important to remember this is only part of the picture as charities themselves often get privileged in our conversations (and the fundraising) around social change work in the UK to the neglect of other organisational structures, movements and informal work. What we don't talk about enough is the fact that the dominance of a few groups narrows the voices we hear and the solutions that are offered. Here are 2 pieces I love on the fact that we should be looking to smaller groups if we want to make big impact: - This recent piece from the Director of the CLIMA Fund is a fantastic challenge to the assumption that scale is about replicating a single solution. It champions the role of multiple, grassroots solutions to scale impact - https://lnkd.in/ehVSQ7kM - This research, supported by the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales from a couple of years back, shows how the response of smaller organisations is distinct. The research highlights how small charities often work flexibly, show up and stick around - https://lnkd.in/eszmyUTA #power #socialchange #smallcharities #justice #impact
