Have you heard about A Good Thing (UK) – a platform that connects UK charities with businesses donating items for free! Here’s how it works: 👉 Charities sign up for free and get alerts when businesses offer items they no longer need—anything from laptops to a baby grand piano! 👉 Businesses list what they’re giving away, and charities can snap up what they need. It’s a win-win, helping charities get the resources they need and businesses to give back to the community. Already a success across the UK, and it could be a great fit for your organisation.

I'm in the final throws of finishing the new St Vincent's Resourcing website (watch out for my next post on this) which can get you in a very reflective mood, and part of the discussion internally recently was focussed on why, after all these years, we're still doing what we do. We'd been talking about an exercise we did a number of years ago when trying to learn more about our staff, everyone including leadership did a basic personality test and we shared the results. It did start out as a bit of fun, but it was really interesting, with some surprising results. One thing we did notice as a trend across the business was a particular category that stood out as most common - The Helper. As with all personality traits, being a helper is both a help and a hindrance, but we did have a bit of a collective realisation then that we were very much a business that likes to help. It was the reason (and still is) that I got out of bed in the morning, and was an ingrained part of our approach to how we worked with our candidates and clients. It was also at the centre of why we were so involved with charity work for so many years. We'd organised so many events in the aid of numerous charities close to our hearts but, for numerous reasons, not least our shift to a more remote working model, our efforts in this area have waned. We're doing what we can now to get that back on track, and, for the first time in a few years, we've got back involved! A few weeks ago we took to the Isle of Bute for a cycle in aid of 2 amazing charities (details below). This journey was ruff, but knowing it'll help provide care for dogs in need made it worth it. If you believe in wagging tails, slobbery kisses, and giving pups a new leash on life, throw us a bone by donating to our JustGiving page: https://lnkd.in/gXuuVxXj Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us raise the woof! Let's show these pups that humans can be a dog's best friend too. #CharityCycle #PawsomeCause #WhosARescuedWho

The only thing more satisfying than applying a RAPAID sticker perfectly straight and without a single air bubble is knowing that a passer by seeing that sticker could save a life! 🙌🏽 The RAPAID stickers in the front and back windows of a cab are a really important part of each installation because they enable members of the public or emergency services to identify which cabs are carrying a RAPAID emergency bandages kit. Don’t forget, if you see one, help is at hand, and the driver has agreed to be part of our campaign. 🤩 We always love to see pictures of cabs you’ve spotted with our kits, so if you do see one, take a snap, share it, and tag us📸 – spreading the word is a great way to help our cause.🙏🏽 #emergencybandages #bleedkits #stopthebleed #charity #fundraising #donate #rapaid
