Women's Aid in Luton’s Post

How about helping us do something different..... How about building something that survivors really need in order to build a new life Nothing is off limits to those who need it if we can raise enough money through the Big Give to create our own crisis fund We have 7 days to raise £10K to create a truly different crisis fund to help those fleeing domestic abuse.... - A fund that helps with the hidden costs such as paying for a credit check when getting a rental agreement to move into a safe property away from harm - A fund that families rebuilding their lives away from violence can apply for children's presents for the first birthday spent in their new lives when income may be hard

The Fundraising Regulator, Charity Commission for England and Wales, and Action Fraud have joined forces to remind people how to give with confidence over the festive period. Christmas is a time when people across the UK are more likely to donate to charity than at any other time of the year. However, donors must remain vigilant. Last year, there were 484 reports of charity-related fraud and cyber-crime, resulting in a total loss of £1,177,773. Those behind these cyber attacks take advantage of public generosity by creating fake appeal websites, sending email appeals that falsely use the names of genuine charities, and launching appeals from fake charities. To help you give safely this Christmas, the regulators have provided simple steps for safer giving:

Your backing will help us deliver counseling and therapy sessions at no cost, so finances don’t need to be a consideration when looking for help. Help support Simon House by making a donation today and bring about the positive transformation we envision for our society. Together, we have the power to transform individuals, families, and communities alike. https://lnkd.in/gP27z3qn #addictionrecovery #addictionbattle #donatenow #supportrecovery

I've served on the board of Georgians for a Healthy Future for several years now. Too often, Georgia has policies in place that don't allow people to thrive, particularly if you are not wealthy. 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐇𝐅'𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲? https://lnkd.in/e7rnN9PY With the gifts from last year’s Giving Day, GHF was able to: ✅ Support the passage of HB 404, the “Safe at Home Act.” This bill establishes basic protections for Georgia renters like ensuring rental units are fit for human habitation and limiting security deposits to no more than two months’ rent. ✅ Protect Georgia’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit from being cut in half by state legislators. ✅ Build support for increasing healthy, accessible housing for people with disabilities by sharing and presenting our Realizing the Promise of Olmstead report. We are counting on 𝟖𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 to make a gift in support of our Housing is Health initiative. Your gifts will kickstart the next phase of our work, which will include: ⭕ Build support among state leaders to fully fund the Georgia Housing Voucher Program! This program ensures that Georgians with mental illness have stable, affordable housing that helps keep them healthy and out of crisis. ⭕ Set up a working group that brings together people with disabilities, caregivers, housing experts, advocates, and Georgia’s state agencies overseeing health and housing to examine and promote ways to improve and expand housing for people with disabilities. ⭕ Bring together housing and health advocates to identify opportunities for collaborations that will improve health and housing at the same time! We’re more powerful together. https://lnkd.in/e7rnN9PY
