DO SOMETHING

Bring back kids for a quid! As a professional sports club aiming to boost fan attendance sustainably, there is a psychological shift induced by charging even a nominal fee, such as $1, or £1 for those reading in England :) Having seen many free ticket campaigns offered by sports clubs only have a minimal short-term impact on attendance, this small fee can significantly alter the dynamics of the social contract and commitment between the club and its supporters. What are your most successful ways of improving long-term attendance at your game? https://lnkd.in/ga54Ff_7

Been thinking about the term “vision” this week as it relates to the strategic planning work I do with nonprofit clients. And what comes to mind for me (at least this week) is a rowing crew. Sharing a common purpose is inspiring and uplifting, but equally crucial is having a shared direction. Consider our nonprofit communities - all driven by the same mission to create positive change. However, achieving goals requires more than shared passion. We must also align on a shared destination, (or vision) for the not-so-distant future that can align our efforts and strategies, ensuring everyone is moving in the same direction. Just like a rowing crew that moves swiftly when every member is in sync, an organization thrives when every team member, volunteer, and supporter work together toward a common point on the horizon. Getting your community to row together, not just with a shared purpose but with a shared destination will help you actualize the future you want to create.

It’s free and online.

New Data In - Stats impacting your business, your personal income, and your fellow neighbor: 1. The State of #Hunger in Texas In Texas, 4,057,910 people are facing hunger, and among them, 1,348,600 are children. Shockingly, 1 in 7 people and 1 in 6 children experience hunger. These aren’t just statistics; they represent our neighbors, classmates, and fellow community members who struggle to put food on the table. 2. The Cost of a Meal The average cost of a meal in Texas is $3.11. Imagine trying to stretch that amount to provide nutritious meals for your family day after day. It’s a daunting challenge for many households. #foodinsecurity You can make a difference by #Volunteering or #givingback through Midwest Food Bank Texas. https://lnkd.in/e9cnTH2E https://lnkd.in/gb58zcZ6

New government figures out last week show how being a young carer has a devastating impact on their education and prospects. 'Young carers have a persistent absence rate of 39% - almost twice as high as their peers. On average they miss 23 days of school per year, far more than those without a caring role. This lays bare the glaring inequality in the life opportunities for young carers compared to their classmates.' Be Free Young Carers are looking to level the playing field by supporting Oxfordshires young carers, whether it's by providing that important respite from their role or supporting them with work experience placements, interview techniques and even 121 emotional support and counselling - we are here for them every step of the way. #youngcarers #charity #employability https://lnkd.in/eSDP99Y6
