Scenes of people living on the streets or in shelters create stereotypes around homelessness as an unsolvable problem. As daunting as those scenes are, the majority of people without housing or the threat of losing it are competent to take care of themselves and simply need a financial boost to move forward. In the UK, Greater Change partners with existing charities that refer clients for cash grants. Greater Change instigates a fundraising campaign and transfers money directly to the client’s support team. It’s a model worthy of emulation that has helped more than 900 UK residents get back on their feet since 2018. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gU4B-Fge

What a great way to start the year.....Please support Malcolm (our Director of Finance & Risk) to raise money for this great cause, if you can. The streets are a very cold and dangerous place to live, especially at this time of year. In today's society, this should not be the only option for anyone, when life doesn't quite work out the way you planned. Please help Malcolm and Centrepoint give those less fortunate the help and support they need to rebuild their lives. https://lnkd.in/e5znRYdK

𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 Let’s face it: Having a social conscience is part and parcel of being a leader in your community. Even though you might not realize it, as a real estate agent, becoming a community leader is in your job description. It also helps generate leads. Think about it. If you wanted to sell your home, would you rather hire a local leader who raises money for the community or an agent who just sells houses? 𝗧𝗶𝗽: You can't find a good charity in Charity Navigator.
