UK's Economic Dark Days bringing Charities to their Knees: ◾Less government funding for charities. ◾ Higher costs for charities. ◾ More people needing more help. ◾ Less disposable income for people and organisations to donate. It is a molotov cocktail and the rag has been lit. Many are already suffering. I speak to struggling charity leaders most days. I am concerned about our present and despair for our future. If you can afford to give a little more to help charity, please reflect and consider doing so. Check out the comments for the full story of why one of our finest is axeing one in seven of its workforce. #ukeconomy #donate #charity

I'm in the final throws of finishing the new St Vincent's Resourcing website (watch out for my next post on this) which can get you in a very reflective mood, and part of the discussion internally recently was focussed on why, after all these years, we're still doing what we do. We'd been talking about an exercise we did a number of years ago when trying to learn more about our staff, everyone including leadership did a basic personality test and we shared the results. It did start out as a bit of fun, but it was really interesting, with some surprising results. One thing we did notice as a trend across the business was a particular category that stood out as most common - The Helper. As with all personality traits, being a helper is both a help and a hindrance, but we did have a bit of a collective realisation then that we were very much a business that likes to help. It was the reason (and still is) that I got out of bed in the morning, and was an ingrained part of our approach to how we worked with our candidates and clients. It was also at the centre of why we were so involved with charity work for so many years. We'd organised so many events in the aid of numerous charities close to our hearts but, for numerous reasons, not least our shift to a more remote working model, our efforts in this area have waned. We're doing what we can now to get that back on track, and, for the first time in a few years, we've got back involved! A few weeks ago we took to the Isle of Bute for a cycle in aid of 2 amazing charities (details below). This journey was ruff, but knowing it'll help provide care for dogs in need made it worth it. If you believe in wagging tails, slobbery kisses, and giving pups a new leash on life, throw us a bone by donating to our JustGiving page: https://lnkd.in/gXuuVxXj Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us raise the woof! Let's show these pups that humans can be a dog's best friend too. #CharityCycle #PawsomeCause #WhosARescuedWho
