We can all help other people. "When you feel like you've got nothing... And if I am honest, we didn't think we needed support, probably my stubbornness, but we all need support in those difficult times. We can all help other people." Transitions can made or break us. While a change is an external event or situation, a transition is the internal psychological process that we are going through as we are navigating through this change. You might think "I've got this!" yet remember you don't have to "do it all" alone. Asking and accepting support is part of you ensuring you will make it through. And, most of the time, it's not just you who is affected by the change. There's your family, spouse, kids, parents, siblings, your friends, your community members. We can all help other people. Small ways can make a big impact. Thanks Sam Teale for making this video. #TheEngineerWhisperer

Very excited and also little bit proud to finally reveal something we have been working on for the last two years here at GOSH Charity - our newly refreshed brand and first brand campaign.   We are so lucky to have such a loved and treasured brand. But like all organisations we need to make sure we are meeting the current challenges of relevancy, inclusivity and being digitally enabled. But most importantly we need to make sure we are communicating the massive impact serious illness has on the lives of children and why the need for the hospital and the charity is more important than ever.   Our refreshed brand stays true to our roots which is all about the child and childhood. We’re more explicit about our role in giving seriously ill children the best chance and best childhood possible, so we’ve made sure it’s right at the heart of who we are and what we do. We now have a refreshed design system that's rooted in our history. Our logo now reflects our original logo and its authenticity, originally inspired by a young patient’s drawing at GOSH, and we’ve introduced elements that inject personality and distinctiveness, for example our animal characters inspired by the hospital ward names.    A more direct tone of voice reflects our determination to stop at nothing to protect childhoods from the most rare or complex illnesses. Changes like our hero colour now being a bright blue (the same colour as the teardrop in our logo) help make us more accessible though purple remains a part of our secondary colour palette.   One of the most important considerations throughout this project has been ensuring the voices of seriously ill children and their families at GOSH were considered at every stage. Championing and honouring their real experiences of both the harsh realities alongside the hope and joy so many experience, with honesty and authenticity was critical.   Our new (and first!) brand campaign aims to exemplify just that. Featuring in billboards and underground stations across London and the southeast over the next few weeks, our five hero children help tell the story that no childhood should be lost to serious illness.   Massive thanks to Impero for our brand strategy and Stuart Gough, Ashley Johnson and Ruth Jamieson for bringing it to life creatively. And of course, the massively talented Marketing and Comms team Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity who have worked tirelessly to get us here today.   Brand building is a long-term project and we will no doubt learn lots and adapt as we take this our to the external world. But ultimately, we hope this change will enable us to connect even more people to important and wonderful world of GOSH and GOSH Charity, and help us do even more for seriously ill children across the UK.

Many of you may not have heard of the app Be My Eyes, I have this on my phone and it is to provide visual assistance when needed. If a blind or low-vision Be My Eyes user needs your help, you will receive a notification on your phone. If you’re the first volunteer to answer the request, you will be connected with that user. A one-way video connection will be established between the two of you, meaning you can see where or what the blind or low vision user points their camera at and guide them if necessary. Be My Eyes have a substantial amount of volunteers who are eager to help, so please be aware that you may not be the first to answer, and you may not receive calls daily or weekly. You will only receive calls in the daytime hours of your local timezone between 8am and 9pm. Please do not worry if you are busy when receiving a call - another volunteer will pick up the call. Secondly, you do not need to have the app open to receive calls. Calls will come through as long as you are logged in to your Be My Eyes account. Blind and low-vision users may need help with anything from determining expiration dates to finding dropped items to navigating unfamiliar places and much more.

Our campaign officially ends on December 31st.

Donations help our cause a lot; every donation goes back to Hunters Fund, an impeccable organization that eliminates this everyday habit. 2. Sign a pledge card. The cards include your name and the words, “I will end distracted and impaired driving.” The more pledges we get signed, the better for all of us! The more pledge cards we get signed physically or electronically, the more we will reduce distracted driving deaths.

Engaging in philanthropy as a family holds significant power. Getting your loved ones involved in charitable endeavors can be incredibly fulfilling. The experiences create lasting memories while instilling empathy and compassion in our children. Beyond the immediate impact on those you serve, family philanthropy nurtures a sense of togetherness and purpose within our households. It sparks meaningful discussions about social issues and imparts valuable lessons on generosity and accountability. By collaborating to tackle challenges in your communities, you not only contribute to positive change but also foster a shared sense of hope and empowerment. There are multiple ways to approach philanthropy, from a la carte donations to donor-advised funds to private family foundations. At 1102 Partners we can help you sort out your options and combine your mission with your overall wealth management picture.
