Men of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire - we need your help... Juno Women's Aid is currently fighting what the National Police Chiefs' Council describes as an "epidemic of offending", with a recent report showing a 37% increase in violent crimes against women and girls since 2018. In total, the charity has supported nearly 3,000 women and more than 500 children in the last year - up six and nine per cent respectively on the previous 12 months. Tasarla L., Yasmin Rehman and the team do an incredible job but they need more support, which is where #Notts500 comes in. The idea behind #Notts500 is two-fold. On a fundamental level, it's asking men for a £2 per month donation to the charity to help fund its vital work supporting survivors of domestic violence and abuse. But beyond that, it's about starting the conversation. It's about enabling change and making sure we raise the next generation in the right way. As men, we have a responsibility to hold each other to account and tackle the spiral of domestic violence – we want #Notts500 to be a conversation starter that leads to real change in terms of attitudes, outlooks and awareness. I'm incredibly proud to stand alongside Kevin Smith, Amani Darr and Al Booth as ambassadors for this campaign, and I would urge all men to pledge that £2 per month and be part of the change. https://lnkd.in/eqteSvxC

Take a guess: How many bed nights did Toora Women inc. provide to women and children in crisis last year?   That's one of the many measures Toora uses when monitoring its services for women in crisis.   Supporting Toora Women is a key pillar in Artemis' Social Impact strategy, and we thank our strategy gun Kamini Davenport for working with Toora's Board, Executive, stakeholders and wider team to help Toora progress its critical work.   Did you guess? Was it close to 57,561 bed nights?   Those were nights when women and children in crisis could feel safe and supported. Please keep Toora Women in mind for your fundraising and donations - they are just one click away. #toorawomen #artemispartners #socialimpact #consulting

Who are the forgotten women? Why care about somebody I don't know? It doesn't impact me, so I don't need to bother myself with it..... Let's break the stigma and their silence, stand up, and educate ourselves and those around us. Support those without a voice and those who are too scared, embarrassed, or worried about judgment! 'The Forgotten Women', over 40,000 Queensland women over the age of 55 are homeless. Sadly this figure is due to increase twofold by 2036! With over 700 based in greater Brisbane. That is 700 women who are someone’s aunt, mother, or grandmother, struggling to keep their heads above water, often doing so in silence. I am calling all my LinkedIn friends, family and colleagues, Stand with me and support my team, we are taking on the Live Like Her Challenge 2024 to help more homeless women over 55 into homes. For one night, we will sleep in a car to raise awareness and funds for The Forgotten Women project, an initiative that is close to our hearts. This initiative hits close to home for me. I have seen close friends struggle to find suitable accommodation for their families, especially elderly mothers and grandmothers who have even had to couch surf with only the clothes on their backs and without the medication some need due to having to decide which bill to pay, the house, power or food?? We can never judge one's circumstances, but we can certainly change our thought process and help rather than hinder. For some, homelessness is due to financial strain, domestic violence and, in some situations, families who don't want anything to do with them.  In a situation most of us could never imagine, these women often hold their heads high and suffer in silence, but they deserve a warm, safe home. Let's help raise awareness for such a worthy cause.

This year we are giving back to Chloe Inc. 🙌 My ask: Please tag nonprofits that fit the above descriptoon below 2. Building this event to celebrate women's another goal is to not only bring awareness to local women-founded brands but also to bring in CPG brands that are founded by women. My ask: Please tag women founders that I can connect with below!

For anyone who might like to know more about the service Smart Works provides and how we help women get into, or back to, work this video sums it up nicely!

I talk a lot on here about the lack of funding for women. I see it so much with the businesses I run and those of my peers. It's sad to see it goes beyond business and into the not for profit sector. This may be research from 2021, but my gut is not much has changed. And As we are in #BlackHistoryMonth this research shows this funding is even smaller for charities that support minority communities and are female run. https://lnkd.in/eUNtTAkD #fundwomen

Funders, this is the kind of stuff that makes grant writers (like me) pull their hair out! Think about and discuss how your practices are harming nonprofits - and then rework them! #grantwriting #grantwriter #foundation
