Bentley hosted a book drive this month to support the Children's Book Project. This is a charity that aims to Stop Book Waste and Change Lives by collecting unwanted books which are in good condition and distributing these to the children that need them most via schools and community groups, food banks, prisons and direct to families. 'One in three disadvantaged children across the UK has fewer than ten books of their own at home, and one in ten has none. The Children’s Book Project seeks to tackle book property and to give every child the opportunity to own their own book.' We think this is a fantastic charity with a strong sustainability vision so we were proud to collect up our unwanted children's books, and yesterday Jonathon Bentley and Nina Sanghera delivered them to one of the charity's collection depots. Thanks everyone for your generous donations! 📕 #Bentley #bookcollection #charity #childrensbookproject #sustainability #socialvalue

Countdown is on.
The Variety Bash kicks off this year in the middle of Dubbo's Western Plain Zoo at Bash's Billabong and then heads north to Queensland, following the path of the original bash 40 years ago. Along the way, we will stop off at local primary schools, where Variety - the Children's Charity NSW/ACT will donate much-needed resources to help children in need. At each school, we dress up as Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers and hand out lightsabers to the kids. We love putting a smile on their faces. There are only three weeks until we head off to the 2024 Variety Bash. We can't wait to share our adventures with you! Show your support here ▶ https://lnkd.in/gKGh9P32 #varietybash #teamstarwars #starwars #fundraiser #adventure

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.

Giving a child a book they can own can be a powerful investment in their future and their wellbeing. That’s why we’ve been working with the Children's Book Project to do just that. Using our business to do better, as a B Corp. So we put out the call to our shoppers to leave out any children’s books they’d like to donate and we’ve had a great response. On top of making our weekly deliveries, our incredible drivers have been collecting these donations, ready to bring back for our charity partner to sort and re-gift. We’ve estimated around 8,000 books have been donated and we can’t thank people enough for the kindness that this shows. From our generous shoppers and hard-working drivers to all the team at The Children’s Book Project. “Once again, the families that shop with Abel & Cole have amazed us by donating thousands of preloved children’s books to The Children’s Book Project. They are now on their way to new adventures with children, many of whom own few if any books of their own. Families can continue to donate books all year round at drop points or with free doorstep collections, by visiting https://lnkd.in/eCVDCxqv. Thank you for your support" Kristin Knell, Children’s Book Project. #Charity #Community #BCorp #Donation

Lead IT Help Desk & Salesforce Administrator | Board Member | Proven Leader with Business Acumen | AWS Certified | Project Manager | Tech Innovator: Keeping It a Buck, One Penny at a Time
Someone with children who could use free clothing, has entered the chat: While it's commendable that 18,000 children received a season of clothing, it's equally disheartening that so many are in need—and surely, another 18,000 children could use similar assistance. I've said it before: parents need livable wages, hours that allow them to care for and build relationships with their children, and safe neighborhoods. In the words of Al Bundy, “You can’t have one without the other!” The crime in our community is directly linked to poverty, which stems from a lack of advancement and opportunity for marginalized individuals. This cycle repeats as parents are overworked, underpaid, and stressed in a constant struggle for survival. We need career opportunities as holiday charity. Instead of toy trucks, we need career opportunities for Giving Tuesdays, rather than endless roundtable discussions about recurring problems. A career is the gift that keeps on giving. A promotion that recognizes those of us who have invested time in acquiring new skills and have spent years developing transferable skills can make a world of difference. For many families, ending poverty is just one job offer away.

While we will still be taking emergency applications for unhoused families, the Red Cross, CHOICES, etc. the Charity Newsies general assistance application is now closed. Three years and prior, we were able to keep the clothing assistance application open into December to serve up to 15,000 children. Two years ago, we reached our budgetary goal of 15,000 children right before Thanksgiving. Last year, we reached 15,000 on August 15 before Columbus City Schools even opened. We scrambled and raised money and bought clothes to reach 18,000, which we did on September 18. This year, we opened on July 29 planning to serve 18,000 children. As of 9:38 a.m. morning, August 15, 18 days since opening the application, we have hit our budgeted amount of 18,000 children scheduled to receive clothing or who have already picked up clothing.
