One of the often overlooked consequences of a cost-of-living crisis is the impact on charities. When people have less, they have less to give. There are 27,000 registered charities in Aotearoa, many of which provide life-changing services to our society's most vulnerable. As discussed in this RNZ piece, too many are now struggling to make ends meet. To all those currently working in the charity/non-profit sector- you are not invisible. Thank you for all that you do. https://lnkd.in/gUcC9r6e

This is an important post by the brilliant Fair Collective highlighting power imbalances in the charity sector. It is important to remember this is only part of the picture as charities themselves often get privileged in our conversations (and the fundraising) around social change work in the UK to the neglect of other organisational structures, movements and informal work. What we don't talk about enough is the fact that the dominance of a few groups narrows the voices we hear and the solutions that are offered. Here are 2 pieces I love on the fact that we should be looking to smaller groups if we want to make big impact: - This recent piece from the Director of the CLIMA Fund is a fantastic challenge to the assumption that scale is about replicating a single solution. It champions the role of multiple, grassroots solutions to scale impact - https://lnkd.in/ehVSQ7kM - This research, supported by the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales from a couple of years back, shows how the response of smaller organisations is distinct. The research highlights how small charities often work flexibly, show up and stick around - https://lnkd.in/eszmyUTA #power #socialchange #smallcharities #justice #impact

Do we take money away from charities by working with schools and community settings?  Even though this is a common question the answer is no.  In fact it's the complete opposite.  We work with some very thoughtful schools and community settings who fundraise on behalf of charities... And we work with charities directly too. #charitywork #fundraisingforcharities #easywaystofundraise #easywaystoraisemoney #fundraiseandrecycle
