A bit of weekend reading for you! The UK Giving Report from Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) offers a fascinating insight into the current state of charitable giving in the UK. Whether you're a donor or charity there are lots of fascinating learnings for us all💡. Key takeaways 👇 👏 Three-quarters of people supported charities last year 👛 Some of the least affluent areas are the most generous 📈 £13.9 billion donated to charity last year 💬 Donors tend to find out about the charities that they support through either their own experience (32%), or via friends and family (28%) 🤐 68% of people don't tell others when they donate or volunteer.

Pencils - a basic educational necessity that all schools should have available to their students at all times! This is one thing I think shocked me the most as someone who moved to the US from the UK and became a first time Mum here - school supply lists. For me "school supplies" included a back pack with lunch and a pencil case that was filled with things I did not need (like scented gel pens cause they were all the rage). All other supplies (pencils, pens, scissors, rulers, calculators [yes even my algebraic ones] and so on) were all provided by the school. The stress for both teachers and parents that the school supply list creates here is unfortunate. Parents panicking about having the funds to get the full list, teachers panicking whether all parents can get the list or if any of their wish list items (which 9/10 are still necessities) will be brought is not setting our kids up for success nor does it teach them about the benefits or sharing, returning what you borrow, keeping things nice for others to use in the future etc. Supplying the schools with the tools they need to educate with goes beyond stocking a curated library, we need to stock the schools with all the basics so that teachers can focus on lesson prep and parents can focus on creating excitement for the upcoming school year! #postforpencils

Thank you LDD Construction for donating all your surplus tech. It was great to meet you yesterday. In today's digital age, access to the internet is essential for education, socialising, and career opportunities. However, for many children and young adults, digital poverty is a harsh reality that affects their everyday lives. • Digital isolation is a common effect of digital poverty. Without access to the internet, children and young adults may struggle to connect with others and miss out on vital social interactions. • Digital poverty can also impact academic performance. Without access to the internet, students may fall behind in their studies and miss out on important learning opportunities. • Furthermore, digital poverty can negatively affect self-esteem. Children and young adults who do not have access to the same technology as their peers may feel left behind or inadequate, leading to lower self-esteem and feelings of unworthiness. • The effects of digital poverty on children and young adults are significant and cannot be ignored. We must work together to provide equal access to technology to ensure that all young people have a fair chance to succeed in today's digital world. Every Child Online specialises in the acquisition of surplus, PC desktops, laptops, tablets mobile phones, monitors, keyboards, mice and all the data and power cables generously donated by both businesses and individuals. Our core competence lies in the meticulous refurbishment of these devices to industry standards. In doing so, we provide donors with a level of service that mirrors the professional and secure IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) services typically offered by for-profit enterprises. In fact, we stand in direct competition with well-established organisations in the sector, delivering industry-standard data destruction services. To ensure transparency and accountability, donors can readily access proof certificates through our online portal, reaffirming our commitment to upholding the highest standards of professional integrity. https://lnkd.in/dKukHXB #construction

This week's #KinderCharacterChallenge: Donate Canceled Stamps Did you know the IRS allows you to deduct 25 cents per stamp donated? The Postal History Foundation collects many types of new and canceled stamps to be used in education programs throughout the country at no cost to the teachers. Why not give those Christmas card stamps another life by saving and donating them? They also suggest adding information for donating stamps to the cards you send out this year. The Foundation takes stamps all year, so you can make it a habit. You can even deduct the cost of the postage to mail the stamps to them! For more information on where to send them, what they collect, and what they do with it, visit their website. #CharacterStartsWithMe #RAK #BeKind
