Almost 136,000 16–24-year-olds were homeless or at risk of homelessness in the UK in 2022-23. This week everyone at Andrews is involved in various fundraising activities to raise £5,000 for [establish], a project that provides high quality, safe and affordable housing to young people vulnerable to homelessness (often care leavers), helping them grow into fully independent adults. Andrews Charitable Trust partner with local youth support organisations who provide ongoing weekly support to the residents. We find suitable properties that Andrews Charitable Trust purchase to become [establish] homes, and our teams provide housing management services and liaise regularly with the [establish] tenants. The money raised this week will fund deposits for [establish] tenants when they move on to the private rental sector. We’re proud to be charity owned and we’re incredibly proud of the amazing work of [establish]. #propertyandpurpose

Such an important cause! Homelessness can affect an individual's mental health and wellbeing so let's support the team to help raise awareness and tackle homelessness in 2024. You are inspirational. #Sleepout2024

👋🏽According to a new report published by The Centre for Social Justice, 79% of UK adults agree that small, local, charities seem to be often overlooked and under-resourced. ❌Whilst the work that we do at Purple Shoots is vast and expansive, making a big impact in communities up and down the UK, we cannot continue to make a difference that matches the level of need for our services without financial backing. 📖Over the next few days, we'll be sharing stats from this report which shows the very urgent need to support small, local charities to be seen and resourced and the impact that being ignored has on the people who need our help the most. 💷To read more about the work that we do and to donate to Purple Shoots on a monthly basis, head to: https://lnkd.in/gHC4FPWe 👀You can read the report in full by heading to https://lnkd.in/eXVbSDf5

How does your team plan for the future

We can all see the impact of local government having less funding in our local communities - whether it be in education, social care or simply the number of potholes in our roads. More councils than ever have had to issue s114 notices (effectively insolvency notices), and there are warnings that more are likely to have to do so over coming months. Councils fund a network of companies and charities in support of their objectives, and the above will have a significant effect on many of those organisations. In the attached article my colleagues review the wider effects on many stakeholders. Early advice and engagement is key to seeking the best outcome for stakeholders - and being an ostrich is no defence! If in doubt seek advice from experienced and qualified advisors. #localgovernmentfinance #charities #dontbeanostrich

Small charities are the glue that holds our communities together ❤️ In Islington, approximately 1,395 of the 1500 charities working here are classed as small charities; most as very small, with an income of under £100,000. These organisations are the backbone of our community. They provide safe, familiar spaces for local people, are often the first responders to people in crisis, and are shaped by the communities they serve. But small charities and their staff are under huge pressure. "As local funders, we hear from many groups that fundraising has become harder, while the need for their services continues to increase. we have received more applications to our recent open rounds and, in addition, are seeing more charities dipping into their reserves in order to meet increased costs." ~ Anne Shewring, Programme Director Cripplegate Foundation Islington Giving As funders, there is more we can do to support these vital grassroots organisations - from increased funding to reducing the demands we place on accessing this funding.

🏢 The Impact of Local Government Funding Cuts ✂️ A House of Lords report revealed that spending by local governments had been reduced by 10.4%. The majority of these cuts have filtered down to financially burden local businesses and charities. We look at the implications these spending reductions will have on the greater community: https://bit.ly/3xXxysr #OpusInsights #LocalGovernmentFunding #LocalCouncils #CharityFunding #LocalBusinesses #BusinessAdvice
