Today is the International Day of Charity – a fantastic opportunity to recognise the amazing work carried out by charitable organisations around the world, and to make a donation if you can. We know there are lots of charities to choose from, but here’s why we’d love you to choose RAPAID: 👉 A casualty can tragically bleed to death within just three to five minutes, often before the emergency services have time to arrive. By equipping cabs with life-saving bandages, RAPAID empowers ordinary people to flag down the vital resources they need to #stopthebleed within those first, critical minutes following an injury. 👉 RAPAID's focus is on stopping the bleed. Your funding helps us extend our mission far and wide, ensuring that emergency bandage kits are accessible in a variety of public places – from schools and taxis to workplaces and other venues. By supporting RAPAID, you're contributing to building a resilient community where people are equipped to help each other in times of crisis. Together, we’re creating a safer UK, one kit at a time. To donate, visit: https://lnkd.in/e8npec3t #InternationalDayOfCharity #RAPAID #Charity

For World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, here are some startling #trends about #humantrafficking and #moderslavery in the UK from today's webinar with Unseen UK's Frontline and Helpline teams. ⭐⭐⭐CURRENT TRENDS IN TRAFFICKING⭐⭐⭐ ⚡ Unseen has reported a significant increase in the exploitation of #underageyouth across the U.K. Latest data shows a troubling rise in various forms of exploitation, including #domesticservitude, #criminalexploitation, and #sexualexploitation. Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline: The helpline saw a 19% increase in calls in 2023, with a total of 11,700 calls compared to 9,779 in 2022. This surge reflects a higher number of identified potential victims, particularly among underage individuals (Unseen). County Lines Exploitation: A significant number of children are being exploited through county lines operations, where criminal gangs use minors to transport and sell drugs. Unseen's #LikesToLines campaign highlights that at least 27,000 children are believed to be involved in county lines across the UK (Unseen). Forms of Exploitation: There has been a notable increase in cases of child sexual exploitation and online grooming. Reports indicate a 10% rise in child sexual exploitation crimes within the last year, with online grooming crimes increasing by 82% over the past five years (Unseen). ⚡ ⅓ of calls to Unseen are from members of the public concerned about exploitation, including: physical abuse, not being paid properly by employers (exploiters), tension with and fear of employer (potential exploiter), or living arrangements being tied to employment. ⚡ The greatest number of helpline calls are from #labour exploitation in the workforce. In 2023, for the first time, cases of exploitation were predominantly in the #CareSector. Before that it was traditionally in the #ServiceIndustry. ⭐⭐Unseen run the free, 24/7, confidential national Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline open to everyone (08000 121 700). ⭐⭐ Thank you Alice Dutton, Lauren Saunders, Natasha Mitra and Unseen's anonymous Case Worker for this important discussion! #humantrafficking #modernslavery #stoptrafficking #humanrights #WorldDayAgainstTraffickinginPersons

How aware are you of diaper need in our Native American communities? According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 30% of Native American families across the United States experience significant diaper need. In 2024, approximately 18% of families served by Babies of Homelessness had Native American household members. When you donate to BoH, we can leverage each dollar to purchase diapers at a steep discount, so each dollar goes much further. Please consider Babies of Homelessness for your end of year giving, for a diaper drive, or for donating diapers and formula, today. The need is now. Give today at https://lnkd.in/g-cc7WjA.
