It’s an unfortunate reality that domestic abuse happens within our country. It’s even more sad to realize that it happens so often that there are large nonprofits that take care of family members in these situations. Safe Harbor in Greenville “provides pathways for people impacted by domestic abuse to survive and thrive, and raises awareness of domestic abuse through community engagement and education.” Their services include a 24 hour hotline, emergency shelters, transitional housing, counseling, case management, and much more. There are quite a few ways you can get involved. You can donate in terms of money but you can also donate standard living items like kitchen or household goods, diapers and clothing for children, school supplies, and other needs. You can also volunteer to help carry out the vision of Safe Harbor. Consider helping families be free from the constraints of abuse. #greenville #volunteer #nonprofit

Homelessness in the West Midlands, including Warwickshire, has been increasing due to rising housing costs and limited access to affordable housing. From 2023-24, there was a 12.3% rise in households assessed as homeless or at risk, with approximately 178,560 households requiring immediate assistance across England, including a significant portion in the West Midlands. For Warwickshire specifically, organizations emphasize proactive intervention, from financial aid and rent deposit schemes to mental health support for those vulnerable to homelessness. However, resource constraints remain a challenge for both statutory and voluntary agencies in effectively managing homelessness (especially rough sleeping) across the county. That's why Kare Plus Kenilworth want to support those who are in need this winter by collecting donations at Kare Plus Kenilworth, 23 Talisman Square, Kenilworth, CV8 1JB. #karepluskenilworth #supportingthehomeless #helpthevulnerable

Thriving charities and resilient communities go hand in hand.

We're urging all Skipton Building Society eligible members to vote for Age UK as their new charity partner. 1 in 7 older households live in ‘non-decent’ housing, 2.1 million older people live below the poverty line and, right now, older homelessness is rising. Your vote could give us the opportunity to deliver a new project, A Place to Call Home, which will support 5,500 older people living in deprived communities to live well and independently in safe, secure and warm homes. Skipton Building Society members, please vote for Age UK and show older people they’ve not been forgotten 👉 https://bit.ly/3x71sKg

Today marks the beginning of Anti-Slavery Week. This week we are going to be sharing educational material from Hope for Justice & Slave Free Alliance, as well as some posts concerning our own internal work to stamp out modern slavery. It is estimated that there are 49.6 million people trapped in slavery worldwide. This figure has increased by nearly 10 million in 5 years. Any number is too high. Anti-Slavery Week gives organisations, charities, and ordinary people the opportunity to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking. Make sure to use this week to raise awareness and take action against modern slavery. We stand against slavery.

With 10 Million individual taxpayers in our country, not including businesses, imagine the impactful change we could create by each contributing just $2 per week to a registered charity. This simple act would amount to $1,040,000,000 annually, matched as a tax deduction by the ATO. By pooling our resources to one overarching charity, we could have $2,849,315.07 daily to support causes like disease research, homelessness prevention, and infrastructure repair. Australia, the power is in our hands to make a significant difference beyond what our elected officials can achieve. It's time to take control and work together for a better future. #CommunityImpact #ChangeMakers

So powerful and simple....

Men and boys are often less likely to self-identify as victims of human trafficking due to the significant risk of stigma. ⁠ ⁠ This silence is further compounded by a lack of resources specifically tailored for male victims, creating a significant barrier to receiving the help they need. ⁠ ⁠ We must break the stigma and build support systems that reach EVERYONE who is exploited. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #HumanTraffickingAwareness #TechThatProtects #HumanTraffickingPrevention #Nonprofit #Charity #ItEndsHere #Trafficking #HumanTrafficking
