Have you been naughty this year? Or nice? Now, with Bidology, you can be both...   Season’s greetings! We have a gift for helping businesses grow here at Bidology and it suddenly struck us: what more appropriate way to show organisations how they can cultivate winning bid processes than a Christmas Tree?!   So we’ve gone and done it. With bells on. Ho-ho-ho.   We’ll be decorating a new layer every day until Friday… when we’ll also be giving you your FREE present!   Or maybe you’re a big kid just like us and can’t wait until then? Good news. Not only will we let you unwrap it early, we’ll also increase our festive donation to Kids in Action, children’s charity, for every person that does!    Game? Just click the link in the comments and Santa will be with you shortly.   In the meantime, check out the first layer of decorations – PREPARE TO WIN… Collate evidence to back-up your responses, write case studies, create CVs for key team members, develop policies, collate certificates & write standard answers for your bid library. #freegift #winningbids #bidwritingsuccess

Today our direct mail campaign promoting the Scope Summer 2024 appeal lands on doormats up and down the country. We are delighted to have partnered with Scope on their summer campaign this year. A direct mail and email campaign exclusively to current and previous supporters with aims to generate donations, reactivate the lapsed and retain existing supporters. It has been a tough time for disabled families facing the extra costs for living the life many take for granted. The Scope Helpline, website and other resources exist to help disabled families through these challenges. Our mailing celebrates the fifth anniversary of the relaunched Scope Helpline which, in that time, has helped many thousands of disabled people by providing essential advice on topics such as employment, benefits, access to resources, independent living and how to navigate the many challenges faced daily. Feedback and reactions from the people helped is overwhelming, and it is pretty clear how proud the team at Scope are with the achievements. So our campaign celebrates progress over the last 5 years and touches on some of the ambitions for the next 10 years, we also punctuate the pack with persuasive messages asking for support.   At a time when direct mail in general, and postage costs in particular, are not getting a lot of loving press coverage, we can’t overlook the power of mailings. A pack can have the genuine capacity to deliver very compelling messages to supporters and ultimately generate vital funds for charities and their service users. Just like Scope and the disabled people across the country.   #charity #helpline #fundraising #directmail

Are you part of a community? I ask this knowing that many people aren't. I never knew anything about being a part of a community until I moved to my neighborhood 7 years ago BEFORE a community was formed/built around me. Right now, where I live is extremely expensive. Whether you're buying or renting a place, it's more expensive than any neighborhood in the city. People ask: "Why do you live there if it's so expensive, there aren't any stores, there are 4 schools stuck in the middle with unbearable traffic...." The reason? Community. The people around me. My neighbors, my shul, my routine, seeing people I love every day walking or driving around. Gatherings. Music. BBQ's. Torah. Kids having friends. Mom's and Dad's being able to socialize without a commute. That is SO much more valuable to me than an extra bedroom or a backyard. When my shul ran a CauseMatch campaign, we all came together as one to reach a goal we didn't think we could ever reach. Now? We built a shul, we have a place, and we can spread joy, and expand our community reach. Communities have so much growth potential, and lack of funding shouldn't get in the way. Try this too. Reach out to me for more information. #fundraising #jewish #community #nonprofit

Why should you think about buying products from a hair stylist, you ask? When you purchase products from a hair stylist, it's like giving a little boost to a local business. And hey, that means more money that goes towards taxes, which in turn helps your community out with things like the local police and the beautification of Marion parks. Oh, and guess what? The hair stylist also pitches in and donates to local charities. Pretty cool, right? But wait, there's more! By supporting the hair stylist, you're indirectly contributing to the education system too. Yup, your taxes help fund schools where her kids go. So, you're doing your part in helping out the education system. Supporting small local businesses is no joke. It has a direct, meaningful impact on your day-to-day life. Hey, don't forget, you play a major role in this community. So keep supporting and keep rocking!

Why Lexi is doing this challenge? 1. Charities✨ Giving back to them and helping smaller charities is so important to me. These are the charities who have a direct effect on people's lives like mine. 2. Raise awareness for women's rugby🏉 To raise awareness of women's rugby and hopefully show people the power it has to inspire others. It is more than a game though, it is a community, a family, a way of life. It has given me so much. The girls inspire me everyday with their resilience and determination. I hope to show others why I am inspired by them so much, and hopefully encourage those who have not yet see it, to just give it a go. To increase engagement and get more support out there for the players. Eventually it would be great for them to recieve equal pay and treatment to their male counterparts. They play the same game! All it takes is people to see how great it is, and not to compare the male game to the female game, they are both totally different. Also, there is nothing wrong with supporting both males and females. It doesn't have to be one or the other. 3. Inspire⚡ Lastly to inspire others to use what equipment they have to do what they can. So of all you have is trainers, then you can go out for a walk. I have the wheelchair I have, so I do what I do. I don't use a sport chair to demonstrate this to people. You don't need expensive kit to be fit and active. In this economic climate it is very difficult for people to afford expensive equipment, so doing what you can with what you have could never be more poignant.

🚣♂️ Exciting News! I'm thrilled to share an exciting initiative our team at Control Techniques is embarking on....and we need your help! 🎉 In honour of our 50th Birthday, we're taking on "The Big Row - 50k for 50 years" challenge, where our dedicated team will be rowing 50 kilometres. But this isn't just about the rowing – it's about making a meaningful impact in the lives of others. We've partnered with The Christmas Smile Project, an organisation dedicated to bringing joy to underprivileged children in Telford this Christmas season. 🎁 We believe in the power of community and the positive change that collective efforts can bring. That's why we're reaching out to you, our incredible network, for support. Your donations will go directly towards making a difference in the lives of these children, ensuring they experience the magic of the holiday season. No contribution is too small, and every donation is a step closer to spreading smiles and warmth this Christmas. 🌟 Your support means the world to us, and together, we can make this celebration not only about our milestone but also about giving back. To donate or learn more about our initiative, please visit https://lnkd.in/eZPpJqdT. Your generosity is the key to unlocking a brighter Christmas for those in need. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for helping us make a positive impact. 🙏 Let's row together towards a season of joy and giving! 🚣♀️🎄 #controltechniques #driveobsessed #thechristmassmileproject #philanthropy #charitysupport #christmas2023 #nidec #nideccontroltechniques #drivesandautomation #charityevent #teamwork #controltechniques #driveobsessed #thechristmassmileproject #philanthropy #charitysupport #christmas2023 #nidec #nideccontroltechniques #drivesandautomation #charityevent #teamwork #innovation #management #technology #creativity #future #goalachievement #goal #career #careers #socialnetworking #branding #advertisingandmarketing #advertisement #motivation #productivity #sales #fundraising #culture #success #automation

🎳 Come and join us this Thursday evening 🎳 How the format works: Working in teams of two, you each take turns playing 1 frame at a time, alternating on each go. The aim, is to be the team that destroys the pyramid as quick as possible by successfully eliminating all blocks. In the below example, if on your first ball, you score a 5. You have a decision to make: - If you wish to ‘bank’ the 5 and destroy that pin from your sheet, then you would proceed to throw your second down the gutter so that the total frame score after 2 rolls is a 5 | -, you would then cross off a 5. - If you wish to go for more pins and you roll your second ball and you then get 4 more pins. Your score would read 5 | 4, totalling 9 and you would then cross off a 9. Our team will be on hand to help you with any questions throughout the game!
