Abel & Cole | B Corp™’s initiative with the Children's Book Project is an inspiring example of purpose-driven impact in action! 📚 Through this partnership, they’re not only using their delivery network to provide sustainable products but are also supporting access to education by ensuring children experience the joy of having books of their own. It’s a powerful reminder of how businesses can creatively leverage their resources to make meaningful contributions. At Nafford Junction, we know purpose-driven marketing isn’t just about a campaign—it’s about integrating mission and values into everyday operations. Imagine the potential for other purpose-led companies to bring together community, customers, and impact in this way. How can your business creatively use its assets to address an unmet need?

Good for you

The largest gift someone makes in their lifetime is usually only received posthumously: a gift left in their will. Long term giving is the single biggest predictor of whether your charity will be in someone's will. The secret to encouraging long term giving lies in communication. Don't be distracted be larger long term donations, either–focus on all levels of giving–gift size now is not a valid predictor of legacy giving. - Communicate often - Build relationships - Thank people thank people thank people!

Become a lifesaver this #AirAmbulanceWeek by sharing this post. More than one in three people in our community don't know that we're a charity, fully funded by donations. 🚁 It costs £3,950 to send our helicopter on each lifesaving mission, and we're dispatched an average of nine times a day. That's why we need your help to spread the word and support our lifesaving work. By sharing this post today, you're already taking the first step to saving a life, tomorrow. #TodaysSupporterTomorrowsLifesaver.

🎄 While we focus on spreading joy through gifts, let’s not forget the spirit of generosity that defines this season. In 2023, Americans donated $499 billion to charities, with a significant portion contributed during the holiday season. Local food banks, toy drives, and charity organizations report an increase in demand during December, underscoring the importance of giving back. 💡 How can we make this season more meaningful? Consider allocating a portion of your holiday budget to support local charities or families in need. Explore creative ways to give, like organizing toy drives or volunteering time to community initiatives. The holidays are about more than spending—they’re about sharing. What are your favorite ways to give back during this time of year? Let’s discuss in the comments! #HolidaySeason #Christmas2024 #Charity #GivingBack #HolidaySpending

🥳 We hear the term "niche" thrown about quite a lot and we seem to have carved out a very "niche-niche" with our online customers. The only thing I can connect it to is potentially lockdown. I celebrated my 40th in a hard lockdown and I think my story resonated. We have an enormous amount of January birthday customers and still to this day I can remember nearly all of their birthdays. Our family is almost all winter babies and someone in my family is born nearly every day in January (yes, I have a BIG family). As a result, we've always found Januarys are super busy for our online gifting side of the business. My take-aways are: 🎁 If you're born in January, you're generally not following the usual pattern that the rest of the world adheres to- Veganuary, Dry January and January diets. Being born at a time of the year when no one has any money (or the desire to leave the house) is punishment enough 🤣. 🎁 There's nothing in the shops, just end of lines and the scrag-ends of Christmas, so choosing a gift is even more challenging in January. 🎁 Lots of cafes, bakeries and restaurants are closed in January for "maintenance/ holiday time" so you can't even go out to your favourite spots to celebrate. With all of this in mind, we have really managed to turn these factors into a strength for our business and are always ready with our doors wide open come the first week of January. Regardless of the external factors, people still want to feel good and have a treat for their birthday. 🤭 Hilariously, after posting the video (attached) on Instagram, someone commented to say it was her birthday: she'd received 3 scarves and would have loved some brownies instead. This made me chuckle. I have to say that my family has a collection of scarves and hats that would make John Lewis jealous. I'm interested to hear if you've carved out any "niche-niches" for yourselves? Can you beat having a HUGE amount of January babies as customers? #supportsmallbusiness

In our company, employees open their hearts wide for good deeds ❤️🩹 One way to help is through donations. ⚡️ Our company has a donation system, and contributions can be made in the following ways: 1. Opting out of birthday gifts. In this case, the entire amount will be donated to charity. 2. Opting out of quarterly team-building activities. This money can also be sent to those in need! 3. Donating your corporate points, which the company converts into real money and sends to charity. By the way, each employee or department can choose whom they want to direct their donation to. For example, in 2024, the record recipients were animal shelters, and we also help children and elderly people. It’s especially gratifying that in 2024, the total amount of donations nearly doubled! We are proud of this trend and continue to stand by those who need it most 💚 #betera #team #csr #donation #gooddeeds

💡 Fuelling Mornings, Supporting Families Members of our community came together to donate generous amounts of cereal and breakfast items for families in need. 🍽️ Breakfast matters. For many, it’s the most important meal of the day—providing energy, focus, and a sense of normality during difficult times. Thanks to these donations, we can ensure families don’t miss out on kick starting their day. ✨ This is the power of community kindness. Small actions, like donating cereal, can make a big difference for those who need it most. 💬 Want to get involved?

Did you know that living in a clutter-free home can be good for your finances?! Here's how: 1) One of the main benefits of decluttering our homes is that we have a place for everything and we can find our stuff. As a result, we're able to use up what we have and save money by not buying duplicates. 2) Until you’ve decluttered you don’t know what storage solutions you may need. And once you have decluttered you might find you can repurpose something which you already own. 3) Finding lost items can bring great joy and peace of mind, and save you money. If you're planning to go on a decluttering spree, consider donating your unwanted clothing and items to one of our partnered charities.
