🤝 Your Donation Helps Build Stronger Families and Communities 💙 A parent recently shared their experience with NVMS mediation: "Mediation helped us find a way to talk without arguing. It wasn’t easy, but it was the first time I felt we could build something positive for our children." Imagine the relief your support can bring to even more families! By donating today, you’ll help us continue to provide no-cost mediation services to those who need it most. Together, we can start 2025 prepared to support more individuals, families, and communities. 👉 Donate now and be the change: https://buff.ly/3NDMCiE #FamilySupport #MediationWorks #NVMS #ConflictResolution #PeaceAndUnderstanding

WE ARE NOW LIVE! Every donation is now being DOUBLED while match funds last. Joyce, a mother of two, used to worry everyday about how she would feed her children the healthy food they needed. She told us recently that thanks to Rose Vouchers she can buy them the fruit and veg they need to grow into healthy adults. "For people on a low income, Rose Vouchers mean you can still feed your kids. It’s a lifeline. I can make whole meals out of Rose Vouchers. I like that they give me enough for my family. Sometimes I have some food leftover to save for the next week. We’re so grateful.” Through the Rose Vouchers for Fruit and Veg project, we don’t just help families to eat, we help them eat well. The benefits are clear, and practical: 🍇 Families’ fruit and veg intake improves by an average of 3 portions a day. 🍋 55% of parents now eat at least 5 portions of fruit & veg a day, up from 15%. 🍎 64% of children now eat at least 5 portions of fruit & veg a day, up from 7%. In the last 12 months, we’ve supported 4,136 families, including over 6,204 children, to buy healthy fresh fruit and veg and avoid food poverty with over £900,000 in Rose Vouchers. That’s a 39% year-on-year increase which we’ve been able to provide thanks to your generosity. But the need is still growing. Despite falling inflation, prices remain stubbornly high, and more people in the UK are experiencing food poverty. Families constantly tell us they simply cannot afford enough fresh fruit and veg for their children to thrive. Our Champions for Children fundraiser is crucial. Every donation, no matter the size, makes an immediate difference. Your donation will be doubled by our match funders. Imagine the relief and joy of a parent who can now provide nutritious meals for their children because of you. Please join us in this incredible opportunity to double your impact and help parents and children in need. Your kindness means the world to us and the families we serve. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for countless families. https://lnkd.in/efVMq3Kk

Like me, I'm sure your inbox is full of Giving Tuesday appeals, each from wonderful organizations. Overwhelmed by all the asks, the temptation may be to do nothing. Please reconsider for... ... the child receiving a diagnosis that changes not only their family for the holidays, but their lives are flipped upside down. ...the mama who spends nearly every moment in the NICU, praying her baby makes it another night. ... the teenager far away from friends, currently undergoing treatment for an eating disorder. ... the family who would be sleeping in their cold car if it weren't for the Ronald McDonald House. These aren't really hypotheticals. There are REAL people are are in these REAL situations this very second. If not for the Ronald McDonald House... ... the child with the diagnosis might not be able to have their family close. ... the mama might never get a night's sleep in a bed, let alone a shower, a place to brush her teeth, or a community to support her. ... the teenager might not only be without their friends, but also far from their family. ... the family would be sleeping in their car. YOU can make a difference RIGHT NOW. Choosing to keep scrolling will not change the reality of these lives, but choosing to give will help provide a free night's sleep, a hot meal, fresh clothing, and transportation for families that truly need it. https://lnkd.in/g6CHEXPD
