The Talent Tap’s Post

There were over 100 wonderful, committed people who braved the elements to support the work of Caring for Communities and People #sleepout24 well done everyone! We had the honor of saying a few words and a few people have asked us to share the stats. Thanks to Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) for their insightful reports Faye Hennessy. We know that working with Charities has a positive and powerful impact on ourselves, our staff and our businesses.   It’s a very meaningful way to contribute to a better world and create positive change. Our combined acts of giving back have the power to inspire and influence others and that’s why it’s important to talk about our charity work and tell our stories, and this will in turn inspire and encourage others to join in. In our small ways we can led by example, demonstrating our commitment to social responsibility and compassion as we motivate others. The 2023 World Giving Index conducted by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) ranks the UK #3in the world for donating money. Which is great 😊 Although it is not in the 2023 overall top 10 which is not so great☹ So, while encouraging, other countries have been able to make bigger improvements, leaving the UK 10 places lower in the overall rankings than it was a decade ago. It now ranks #17 in the world, putting it just behind Ethiopia. The UK, which has nearly always featured among the most generous countries in the world, first fell significantly down the rankings during 2020 when the pandemic made it difficult to take part in charity fundraising or to volunteer.  In the 2023 index, the UK is ranked #3 for donating money, #58 for volunteering, and #112 for helping a stranger. So, still room for improvement. The top 3 countries in the overall rankings are: Indonesai and 2nd (not surprisingly) Ukraine then Kenya with the USA in 5th place. Charities like CCP are at the forefront of advocating for social change and raising the awareness of critical issues like homelessness and deprivation. Please continue to keep giving, volunteering and helping strangers. https://lnkd.in/eFFExbQT https://lnkd.in/eZXqHW6s Cordell Ray MBE Daniel Chun Debra Page Suzanne Hall-Gibbins ★Angela Edwards★ Mel H.

Stop criticizing the top 1%. Especially since you are probably one of them! I usually avoid religious and political conversations for obvious reasons, but I feel compelled to lean in today. It’s frustrating 😡 to hear people in the US and Europe shouting "tax the rich" and expressing disdain for "the rich." The fact is, if you live in the US or Europe 🌍, no matter how bad you think it is, your lifestyle is likely far better than that of many people in other parts of the world. It’s all about context. The top 1% of global earners make around $32,400 annually. Yes, that’s all it takes to be in the top 1% globally. Some of my clients make that amount per month.... This puts into perspective how relative wealth is. I work closely with portfolio landlords, developers, and property investors 🏘 , which stands in stark contrast to my role as a Trustee for Healthy Living Projects, a charity dedicated to tackling homelessness. Last year, while organizing the East London Property Expo, the stark contrast between my clients and the charity became clearer than ever. This is why we decided to make HLP the official charity supported by the Expo. This year, we’re hosting our second annual 10-mile walk to raise funds to support homeless individuals. Any donation and support are greatly appreciated: https://lnkd.in/eyi_chBY. The East London Property Expo takes place on Saturday, October 12th, at City Gates Conference Centre. Representatives from Healthy Living Projects will be on hand to share ways you can support this critical cause. Let’s bridge the gap and make a difference together.

Here's a very interesting article on the state of individual giving in the UK - which seems to be alive and well! I wonder what the statistics would be like for SA? https://lnkd.in/dHMtsjeG #giving #nonprofits #philanthropy #individualgiving Words that Count

While anyone can individually and voluntarily participate in community service, companies can and should give back and try to reach out and help those who need a boost or a much-needed hand in our society. Businesses are irrevocably a part of the communities of their residence. Whether you decide to sponsor youth teams, support local organisations who are helping active addicts recover, or contribute to national health causes, giving back that is both benevolent and responsible. Your company’s generosity can impact scientific breakthroughs, community health, or even life-or-death situations in your neighbourhood. All these initiatives, big and small, move Australia’s needle in a positive direction. Businesses that engage in charity can reap benefits that can also be tangible within the company. Aside from building a beautiful reputation and marketing the company name in philanthropic ways, being charitable fosters values of respect, camaraderie, and fulfilment among employees.

For many businesses, April sees the start of a new financial year, a new set of targets, and a new set of plans. For most businesses, this will also include some careful thought to how to maximise your social footprint in the communities you work in, how to build team morale and engagement, and how to get the most out of your #CSR, #ESG, or #SocialValue strategy. If this resonates, but you're not sure what causes you are ready to align to, why not come to the first of our brand new #LunchandLearn sessions to learn more about the scale of #homelessness in Greater Manchester and nationally, and what can be done about it. Together, we can end homelessness. #HR #Marketing #Comms #People #Learn

International Day of Charity is an internationally celebrated day on 5th September. It was first introduced by the United Nations. The day was chosen to commemorate the passing of Mother Teresa. She was known for her dedication to charitable work and gave her life to helping others and overcoming poverty, suffering and distress. Teaching children about the work of #MotherTeresa is one way of recognising the importance of the day. The aim of the International Day of Charity is to raise awareness and give a platform to charity activities around the world for charitable, individuals and #Volunteer organisations at local, national and international levels. International Day of Charity seeks to enhance social responsibility and increase public support of charitable causes. There are so many fun ways to get involved with #InternationalDayOfCharity, whether that be organising your own event to raise money, #Volunteering with a good local cause or simply raising awareness for a charitable organisation. It doesn’t matter how much time or money you have to spare since there are lots of different things to do.

Conceived by Dan Pallotta, a social entrepreneur, philanthropist and activist, the film builds on his highly acclaimed book and viral philanthropy TED Talk that introduced this radical thinking, sparking a much-needed conversation about the future of charities and charitable giving. UnCharitable delivers thought-provoking insights packaged to move, persuade and inspire action. The film provides an in-depth look at the history and evolution of charity, why the current model is failing and what charity could be if we started treating it like a business.

Charity UN Day: A Call for Collaboration and Change Today, on Charity UN Day, we reflect on the vital role of charitable giving. 🙏 As global challenges evolve, it's time to reimagine charity, moving beyond traditional models toward a more participatory and impactful approach. 🤝 Charity is often seen as a one-way transaction. ➡️ While this approach has its merits, I believe the most effective solutions emerge from collaboration between benefactors and beneficiaries. 🤝 Instead of simply allocating funds, we must create spaces for dialogue. 🗣️ By actively involving those impacted in decision-making, we ensure efforts truly address underlying needs and aspirations. 💪 Imagine a world where charitable giving becomes a catalyst for positive social change. ✨ Where beneficiaries and benefactors work together to identify solutions, experiment, and implement initiatives that lead to lasting transformation. 🌱 Charity is about more than financial support; it's about giving voice to those often unheard. 🗣️ By embracing a participatory model, we harness collective wisdom and creativity, leading to more sustainable outcomes. ♻️ The challenges we face are diverse. 🌈 A one-size-fits-all approach is no longer sufficient. We must be willing to experiment, listen, and tailor our efforts to each situation. 🧩 On this Charity UN Day, let's commit to reimagining charitable giving. ❤️ Let's create a world where charity empowers individuals and communities, fosters collaboration, and drives meaningful change. 🌍 Together, we can build a more equitable and compassionate world for all. 🙌 #CharityUNDay #SocialChange #Collaboration #Empowerment
