Volunteer Your Time: Dedicate a few hours to help out at a local shelter or community center. 2. Donate Unused Items: Clean out your closet and donate clothes, toys, or household items. 3. Organize a Community Clean-Up: Rally your neighbors and clean up a local park or beach. 4. Spread Awareness: Use social media to raise awareness for causes you care about. 5. Offer Your Skills: Use your professional skills to help a nonprofit with their projects. Every little bit counts!

Small charities are struggling more than ever. Holding Space is no exception. Our work is crucial to the parents and carers of East Sussex, but if things continue as they are we may not be here in 2025 to meet the needs of our local community. And to meet the needs of our local community, we need our community to help us. Funding opportunities are shrinking, while the number of small charities needing support is increasing. We rely on donations, we rely on volunteers. We’re vulnerable. There are so many fantastic ways that small charities can be supported by their community. But it has to come from people. People who want to make a difference, a tangible difference. People who are willing to… 💜Volunteer their time 💜Encourage their employer to get involved 💜Set up a monthly donation 💜Start a fundraiser 💜Share and like our social media posts The reality is this. If you’ve ever felt alone, unsupported, lost, or not listened to as a parent, Holding Space has the Parent Peer Support volunteers to make sure you’re not alone. To give you the tools to get through the tough times. Every parent and carer deserves that. Help us to continue delivering this work in our local community. #smallcharities #charityfunding #fundraising

The largest gift someone makes in their lifetime is usually only received posthumously: a gift left in their will. Long term giving is the single biggest predictor of whether your charity will be in someone's will. The secret to encouraging long term giving lies in communication. Don't be distracted be larger long term donations, either–focus on all levels of giving–gift size now is not a valid predictor of legacy giving. - Communicate often - Build relationships - Thank people thank people thank people!

There are lots of ways that you can help us to help vulnerable people in your community. Our Empowerment Fund is purely for costs that aren't covered in project pots - it's for things like home furnishings to make our houses more comfortable; it's for transport to appointments; it's for clothes for interviews and it's for those all-essential food parcels in an emergency. Your help can make all the difference.

For anyone wondering what my new diamond🔸is for: It stands for the🔸10% Pledge, a commitment to give 10% of my income to effective charities until I retire. I am not sharing this to boast, but because taking The Pledge is probably one of the most important and impactful single decisions I will ever make. And I think you may want to consider it too. Although I am a student / working at a mostly-volunteer NGO, my modest donations still already approach saving someone's entire life. Over my lifetime, this commitment will probably save at least dozens more. How many people can you help save? You can learn more about giving effectively at gwwc.org/pledge
