NPC (New Philanthropy Capital) has released the Partners for Change report, which was funded by Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). It's an insightful strategy proposal for the next government to consider as it's packed out with information about what the government could do to move philanthropy in the UK forward. There are: 🎯 Eight recommendations for putting the partnership between government and charities on a strong footing 🎯 Nine recommendations in priority policy areas where civil society and government can work together to make change 🎯 Nine recommendations about how charities and funders can work together. Includes topics about in-house giving strategies, how impact and data can be used, ways the inequalities that society is addressing could be addressed, how giving can be used to respond to the climate crisis, how giving can guide the government's response to criminal justice, and how children and young people should have a seat at the table. Let's continue to work together to make change happen. #makingchange #philanthropy #givingstrategies https://lnkd.in/ewu7yTHS

Hope Funds supported: - 19 organisations - With more than £176,000 in funding - This led to more than 12,000 people being supported. Cambridgeshire-based homelessness support service Wintercomfort for the Homeless was one recipient of a Hope Funds grant. Hear from services manager Agnieszka Gada on the impact this had for them: 💬 “We provide service for rough sleepers and vulnerably housed adults. It's like a hub for support. “The Hopestead funding goes towards the employment cost so we can deliver services. It allows us to run, it allows us to run the projects.” #Hopestead #impact #impactreport #charity #homelessness #homelessnesssupport #endhomelessness #EastofEngland #EastAnglia

As some of you may have noticed, I don't often take to this platform. However, today, I'm breaking that habit for a cause that I believe deserves our collective attention and support. On 20 June, I'll be participating in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, an event aimed at raising awareness and funds to combat homelessness. It's a rare opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone and into the shoes of those facing unimaginable challenges every day and night on the streets. Homelessness isn't just a statistic; it's a human experience marked by struggle and uncertainty. And while I may only spend one night sleeping rough, the impact of our collective efforts can extend far beyond that. So, I'm reaching out to you, to ask for your support. Your donation, regardless of size, will go directly towards providing shelter, food, and essential services to those in need. Please consider contributing to this cause by visiting https://lnkd.in/g3bsuQCV and making a donation. Your support makes a real and meaningful difference. #CommunitySupport #downerprofessionalservices #ceosleepoutau #housingcrisis #australia #homelessnessawareness #defenceindustry #puttingAustraliasinterestsfirst

We evaluated our support to #SmallButVital charities in the homelessness sector to understand its impact on people and communities. Housing and homelessness charities are a long-standing and significant part of our funding portfolio, and broadly representative of the small charities we support – they are often in the eye of the storm and feel the bluntest effects of austerity. We looked at the impact of our funding, development support and influencing work on people, charities, communities and society. The emerging findings continue to demonstrate the importance of strong relationships, unrestricted funding and building a thriving and resilient population of smaller charities against a backdrop of sustained deterioration in the underlying operating environment.

At Adonis Partners, we believe that success is measured not only by what we achieve in the workplace but also by how we give back to people and their communities.    This video highlights our efforts in transforming a local school in Los Palos, Dominican Republic by building safe infrastructure and creating spaces where children can learn and play.    At our core, we are driven by a purpose: to share, serve, and create value for others. That’s why we donate over 20% of our profits annually to charities and community service organizations. We know that even the smallest action can spark meaningful change.    Altogether, giving back is not just a responsibility—it’s a principle we live by—and the work we do in communities like Los Palos reflects our belief that when we come together, we can truly make an impact.    #CommunityFirst #GivingBack #CorporateResponsibility
