Did you know that 8,982 young people aged 10-17 were under youth justice supervision during the year in Australia? AND that while First Nations people represent only 4% of Australian population, 57% of young people in detention are First Nations young people? UnLtd. 's #AdlandBailOut aims to break this cycle of youth incarceration. The funds raised from Adland Bail Out go towards effective programs operated by UnLtd’s charity partners. Programs that are designed to help keep kids out of jail through holistic support, help young people navigate the court system through court and legal support and help young people currently incarcerated to develop skills and alternative pathways to successfully transition back into community.  Our own Abby Bacon is taking part this year to raise funds for this important cause. https://lnkd.in/gtpz9ZUB Sources: AIHW, Youth justice in Australia 2021-22 report; NSW Minister for Youth Justice, July 2023

With 48 hours left before heading to jail, I'm raising funds for Adland Bail Out. Your donations can make a difference in breaking the cycle of youth incarceration. Australia imprisons children as young as 10, with 8,982 young people aged 10-17 under youth justice supervision. Incarceration often leads to a 'revolving door' of reoffending, with 85% of young people returning within 12 months. Shockingly, 57% of detained young people are First Nations individuals, despite representing only 4% of the Australian population. Support the cause by donating at https://lnkd.in/gRwRte8V. Let's make a positive impact together. All credit to UnLtd. for organizing this initiative. #YouthJustice #AdlandBailOut #BreakTheCycle

While I have been locked out, and definitely locked-in a few times, I've never yet been locked up. This changes on Thursday as I am taking part in the Adland Bailout and will spend the night in prison for Charity. The data on this is overwhelming: • 8,982 young people aged 10-17 were under youth justice supervision during the year in Australia (AIHW, 2023) • Whilst First Nations people represent only 4% of Australian population, 57% of young people in detention are First Nations young people (AIHW, 2024) • Imprisoning young people causes a 'revolving door' of incarceration with 85% returning within 12 months when released from sentenced detention (AIHW, 2023) • It costs over $1 million per year, per young person in prison in NSW (NSW Parliament, 2023) - In order for me to be released out the next morning, I need to raise $1,250 bail and I need your help! Please support me to help raise some much-needed funds and awareness to help keep kids out of jail. All donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your generosity!

Check out this touching video! Your words make a difference. Many nonprofits use jargon, acronyms, and complex language that only insiders get. By making your message more relatable, you can truly connect with donors and inspire their support. #nonprofit #charities #fundraising

So timely.

Consistency and dedication is key to anything you want to become.

There's something incredibly inspiring about small businesses, non-profits, and organizations joining forces to make a significant difference. Together, we're creating a better world for adults with autism, one step at a time. Our Amazing Grace Center and Foundation (actual name of non-profit not yet determined, but it will have Amazing Grace in the title) is a testament to this shared vision. As we continue to work diligently, we encourage our community of business owners, employers, employees, and caregivers to rally with us in this noble pursuit. Your support today impacts tomorrow. #SmallBusinesses #Nonprofits #AutismSupport https://lnkd.in/gmpvkJzN

Here's a thoughtful collab to share between Big Brother and Age UK, a charity that supports our older community. This collaboration stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness, demonstrating how well-known brand intellectual properties (IP) can be leveraged to support charitable causes with minimal production effort. In this unique initiative, the familiar setting of the Big Brother house is used in a poignant way. Instead of the usual lively interactions of reality show contestants, viewers are presented with a different reality – elderly individuals living in quiet solitude. This stark contrast in the Big Brother house profoundly highlights the isolation many older people experience, especially around festive times like Christmas. This collaboration serves as a powerful reminder of the potential impact when brand IPs align with community challenges. It's a thought-provoking example of how creative thinking can turn a brand's assets into tools for social awareness and change. Well done to all those involved. #Partnerships #Branding #Marketing #collaboration #Entertainment #Charities #IP
