OKC City Rescue Mission’s Post

Camden is a vibrant, multicultural borough, with 45.4% of Camden residents born outside the UK, contributing to its rich diversity, albeit with significant socio-economic challenges: - At 41%, Camden has the second-highest poverty rate in London.  - Camden faces the worst housing affordability in the capital.   - London’s Black and Asian communities have been disproportionately affected by the cost-of-living crisis.  - Over 2 in 5 Bangladeshis and nearly 1 in 3 Black Londoners live in overcrowded housing conditions in Camden, which is considerably higher than the UK average.  - There has been a 39% rise in hate crimes all over London in 2023 compared to 2022. Our incredible community researchers are examining the impact of structural racism on housing, education, employment, and safety across the borough.  Findings from our research will inform policy recommendations aimed at key development areas, such as enhancing community infrastructure, improving educational quality with better cultural training and diverse curriculum design, and fostering pathways to employment through collaboration with local businesses. Join us in working to address and dismantle racial inequalities in Camden, and creating more just and inclusive communities for all!

We were pleased to support the 2024 Northwest Nonprofit Capacity Report. What were the top three capacity needs identified by our nonprofits? 1. Resources: This is always the top priority - the ongoing funding of incredible work. 2. People: Succession planning, meaningful staff development, effective volunteer engagement, dusting off HR policies that haven't been touched in 7 years... 3. Evaluation: How do you measure impact without overwhelming frontline staff? How are staff and participants involved in the sensemaking of data? Northwest Nonprofit Capacity Survey - M. J.

Last week, Anick Silencieux from Support Black Charities shared a workshop with our team on Black Philanthropy in Canada. One central theme throughout Anick’s presentation was the importance of uplifting and elevating your community. This is a common motivation for why people give, and it left us with some reflections that we wanted to share with you: 👉 What does elevating my community mean to me? 👉 How can I incorporate elevating my community into my charitable giving? 👉 What steps can I take to get started?

For charities that campaign, please see the reminder below of things charities must think about during this election period #charity #campaigning #generalelection
