Where's the ASTOP LIMITED wally? The bearded gentleman (literally) at the front is the founder of the Human-kind charity called godharmic.com . One of those charities that inspires many to pack a punch in delivering social help on hardly any budget. They are running food banks, giving out PPE, serving hot meals, building wells etc from Glasgow to Luton to London to India and beyond. Yesterday I got the secretive call to see if I could join the handful of supporters outside the frontline volunteers greet their special guest earlier today at one of their community support sites in Islington (a very nice charity restaurant and yoga centre called www.omnom.com/.) ASTOP LIMITED have given rent-free space to them in Slough, Hamsptead, Watford, Harrow, Bradford and Rochdale over the years. Space is the biggest hurdle for charities after money. We're just happy to be in the background to help this and over 100 other charities deliver on their varied missions. That's why you will only see my single "thumb-up" sticking out of the head of the founder in this photo. I'll be the first to admit (after my 20-somehting children) that I am not the greatest at photo-bombing or photo taking! Well done Hemal Randerwala Hanuman Dass (Hemal Randerwala) Ram Goyal and the rest of the Go Dharmic family. #esgleadership #esg #esginvesting #esgreporting #esgstrategy #esgratings #esgintegration #esggoals #esgoto #esgdata #esgdisclosure #esgcompliance #esgnews #esgexcellence #esgconsulting #esginsights #esgtraining

🎉 Hello LinkedIn: I'm on a mission, can you help? 🌟⁠ Me (and trundl) need to spread the word to 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ new trundlrs. We're a growing business and we can't afford the huge budgets that ad campaigns require, so our community is our voice. 😏 I feel like I'm always asking you for help, but I hope that I try to pay it forward as much as I can in helping others so here's the cunning plan... (Baldrick): ⁠ 🚶🏿♂️🚶🏽♀️🚶🏿♀️ Most of you know: With the trundl app, a simple walk becomes the opportunity to raise money for 8 UK charities without you having to do the fundraising yourself. All you have to do is re-purpose your existing walks by pressing GO on the trundl app.⁠ So to reach 2000 new people we decided to use the Crowdfunder UK platform. Why? It's an excellent way for us to spread the word with low fees. Our community is already made up of people from the following walks of life:⁠ 🟢 dog walkers⁠ 🟢 daily strollers⁠ 🟢 serious hikers⁠⁠ 🟢 those in re-hab ⁠ 🟢 coping with an injury ⁠ 🟢 long term illness⁠/unable to return to work Plus from the business world: 🟢 HR Managers looking to keep teams healthier and feeling purposeful 🟢 ESG Managers looking at Active Travel and Scope 3 🟢 Business owners of all shapes and sizes (the company, not the owner). ⁠ Why do the groups above already love trundling/walking? Because we're totally non-competitive. We appeal to kind hearted people/businesses who want to do social good as well as help the planet. It's simple. You tap the app, you go out for your walk and your distance is converted into donations via our unique "trundl-ometer" and supported by our lovely brand partners. ⁠ So.. hang on in there you know I go on a bit... ❓ Could trundl make a nice gift for someone in the list above that you know or for your team?⁠ ⁠ A £5 gift certificate gives someone a new motivation for a month to be outside and helps us to spread the word to 2000 new people and do more for our UK charities. If they like trundl they can stay and become a member at £3.99 (inc. vat) per month, if they don't they have at least got some fresh air and done themselves and UK charities some social good. ⁠ To find out more and to get involved/tag your friends/business connections in this post and/or click on the link here: https://lnkd.in/eHTqTCdU ⁠ ⁠ ❤💛💚💜 Thank you, I appreciate your help in this busy world we live in.⁠ 🦔⁠ ⁠ #crowdfunder #crowdfunding #crowdfundingcampaign #crowdfundinguk #crowdfundingproject #givingback  #trundl_go #healthandwellness #csr #esg

Paying it forward

Is your charity a canoe or a ocean liner? I've worked in some big charities and now I manage a small one. And I'm here to say that there is a world of difference between the two. When I was in a larger charity things like brand recognition, having well resourced dedicated fundraising and coms teams meant that there was a level of ease around how funding flowed, we could meet all sorts of funders needs because we had capacity to do so. It felt like we were magnets 🧲 But now in a small charity I notice that despite our struggle to attract resources there are things we can do that bigger charities just can't. Like react quickly and decisively when the people we support ask us to, it's the difference between changes of direction in a canoe and an ocean liner. We're nippy, we are creative and we get things done. And the thing is our sector needs both. If you are in a medium or large charity and you want to show support for us little guys have a read of Wayne Murray blog and then get involved in #SmallCharityWeek if you can. Because all you need to do is love small charities. ● L – Listen and Learn: I will learn what small charities do in my neighbourhood ● O – Organise: I will get my community involved with small charities ● V – Volunteer: I will support small charities with my time, voice and money ● E – Engage: I will do a bit more to make my community better. #LoveYourSmallCharity #SmallCharityWeek2024 blog in link.

Never one to idle - the 2025 Perth Coastal Bike Ride planning has commenced! After all it is now less than 1 year and the following indices will shape the 2025 event: 1. Confirmed 10km Family Ride category. 2. Extended distance to 120 km has been planned and explored. 3. Proactive and supportive charities who worked together with the Perth Integrated Events Team will be invited back for 2025. 4. The formation of a duality event where people can ride for themselves or ride for a cause has proven effective and for many also provision to participate without the extensive costs associated with fund raising. 5. Raising the bar in 2025 ensuring that this event shows evidence of support for people with disabilities and or local research here in Western Australia. 6. Growing the event from its always intended Small category to Medium category sized event in 2025 which is part of our gradual growth in line with population expansion and road density needs. Reserve the date: 23rd Nov 2025 and make a difference to how charitable events should be run.

I have pledged to donate a percentage of my income to highly effective charities. 🌍 💡 Until four years ago, when I thought of donating to charity, I imagined collection boxes, street sellers, uncertainty about the impact of my money, and elderly people. However, my work at Doneer Effectief taught me that there is so much more to charitable giving. If we carefully consider where we donate and choose effective charities, giving can be evidence-driven, highly impactful—up to 100 times more than the average charity—intentional, and incredibly rewarding. I now see donating as one of my ways of contributing to a world with less suffering and more happiness. Because of this, I have decided to take the trial pledge via Giving What We Can: from now on, I will donate a set percentage of my income to highly effective charities. Many religions have long practiced such ‘pledges’ to charity as a way to give back. Through my pledge, I know that I am making a meaningful positive impact on the people and animals that benefit from my donations every month. 🐾👫 Have you ever considered donating to effective charities? Because, especially for such charities, even small donations can make a large difference. Check this video https://lnkd.in/eQFjAHnt or GivingWhatWeCan https://lnkd.in/euzzjY6s to learn more

Three top tips to make sure your fundraising is successful in the current climate... I’ve spent 16 years working in the sector and there’s been lots of change in that time. Trends have moved on and so has the world we’re living in. It can be easy to get lost in the weeds but here are my top three things for charities to focus on right now. 1. Reassure your fundraisers that people are still giving Our Donor Pulse research tells us that roughly 70% of the public donates to charity online every three months. That figure has remained stable through the pandemic and the cost of living crisis. We know the public will find a way if they can, so it’s important to remind fundraisers that plenty of people will donate if you give them the chance. Many fundraisers struggle with asking for donations, so try providing them with some useful tips on how to make the perfect ask. 2. Take on a challenge, give fundraisers an experience Challenging events like the TCS London Marathon and Great North Run are a great way to inspire generosity. Just look at this year’s record-breaking Marathon fundraising total of over £67m - achieved despite the cost of living crisis. These challenges also go hand in hand with another important aspect of fundraising: a memorable experience. People want to do something meaningful in exchange for their time. The appetite for this is stronger than ever! 3. Fundraising can be fun, in fact it should be The public has told us that the number one thing they want from a fundraising event is fun. Just because someone is raising money for a serious issue doesn’t mean the fundraising itself can’t be enjoyable. In fact, it’s probably the easiest way to encourage people to get involved. Make it a fun event they want to take part in regardless of the cause. Let me know if I’ve missed anything in the comments 👇 #Charity #Fundraising

Do people even realise you're a charity? More and more organisations are turning to public fundraising for the first time, with statutory funding cut to the bone and grant funding becoming more scarce too. In my experience, it's common to put lots of time into designing fundraising campaigns, products & events, but miss out on one crucial thing - the fact that most people don't even realise you're a charity in need of public support. We live in a world where everybody loves to have an opinion on charities, but many people have little sense of what a charity is. However surprising it is to you, they may still have little idea that their local community centre, support group or playground is increasingly reliant on public donations to stay afloat. Tinkering with fundraising tactics is unlikely to be very successful unless you put some of the basics in place, such as: 💳 A donate button on your homepage ℹ A clear explanation that you're seeking public donations, and why 🎉 Shouting about your little fundraising successes and kind donations along the way, to inspire others & prove you're attracting support These little steps are quick & cheap, but make all the difference. Check out our blog (which you'll find below) for more info.
