Brilliant well done

"External charitable initiatives...don't do anything for your own employees" Wrong. Cynical & WRONG. Internally, it does more than you think... It sets an example, from the very top, which trickles down to every single one of your employees, of - HOW . WE . DO . BUSINESS It demonstrates with action & tangible evidence, that your business is not JUST about growth & "winning" & doing whatever it takes to stay ahead of the numbers - cutting corners, taking advantage of people, manipulation, exploitation, evasion, massaging the figures. The list goes on... I firmly believe: there is room in business for a conscience & a decent amount of room at that. There's a concept of: every 10% of earnings, you give away to charity. I believe Ben & Jerry's adopted this for a while (and hopefully still do) - among others I believe. Why would a business, whose primary goal is revenue and profit growth, give 10% of its earnings away, just like that? That sounds like the worst CFO in the world?! So, why? Because those who understand the concept of love, know: The only way to get love...is to GIVE love. And when you figure that out, the rest is history. I'm personally, very proud in many ways to represent #Peninsula, and this is just another thing on the list. Be cynical...dismiss as virtue signalling - corporate patting on the back, if you will - see how far that gets you 🙄 #love > #hate The money-making business is ruthless. Winning is a ruthless pursuit #Mourinho If you can win in the right way - oh it's oh so much sweeter #SirMatt #SirAlex And, in the off chance you do happen to "lose", if you played the game in the "right" way - you can never really lose...you always win...you ONLY win...even when you "lose" 🙃 And for those who are STILL cynical about these initiatives...our group-wide charitable efforts are discussed (at the very least) once a month, in a newsletter from the SLT...they are housed neatly at the very top of our internal employee hub...and I'm sure are in even more places I haven't even learned of yet. This isn't just: ooh get some PR, look at us doing altruistic things and then forget and never actually do anything about it. No, these initiatives are inbuilt to Peninsula UK and I'm very much here for it 👏🏻 #JT said it best: what goes around, goes around, goes around...comes all the way...BACK around 😇 #peninsula #businesswithaconscience

UPDATE: We've had a few more people added on as regular monthly donors, a total of $765 a month, out of our goal of $2,800 to replace the rent of 2 churches who've been renting our building! That means we are a 1/4th of the way there, so thank you for your generosity thus far! Running a non-profit organization always carries with it the challenges of raising the funds you need to carry out your mission. Thankfully, even though we've never been good fundraisers, through carefully keeping our budget manageable, keeping staff small, salaries low and cutting back where we need to, we have been able to carry on Heart of the City Ministries for 28 years now. Also, one of the financial resources that has helped us quite a bit over the last few years has been: 1. a church plant that began renting the Music Factory from us on Sunday mornings a couple of years ago, and 2. a church that began renting from us Sunday afternoons. Besides the fact that we loved having this space being used for ministry on Sundays by 2 churches, their combined rental also generated about $2,800.00 a month for Heart of the City Ministries. In our world, that's a lot of money and it's been a great help to us! But now, as of about a month ago, the afternoon church moved out to another building which has more space for their growing congregation. And by the end of July, the church that meets here on Sunday mornings will be moving out to their new location as well. We are so glad for both of these churches being able to move ahead with their growth and into new spaces! But the financial reality for our ministry is that we now will be falling $2,800.00 a month short of our budget. Unless we can come up with funding to cover that, we will have to cut back salaries and find other ways to cut back to make up for that deficit.

In our Sep 23, £1bn funding cuts report, we warned of the risk of structural damage and we may now be seeing the first signs of this. The graph is sector resilience Jun 20 to Apr 24. The big dip on the right is the CoL crisis, deeper and longer then Covid, and to the right you can see the fragile recovery being derailed by the cuts at end 2023. And small charities are being disproportionately impacted. We're 95% of the sector but the vast bulk of sector income goes to large charities, whose fundraising hasn't been impacted nearly as badly. Grant makers must direct more funding to support smalls https://lnkd.in/eA7fxw42

These are powerful figures. They should also give confidence to charities about encouraging and securing future legacy income streams. It will also give no doubt to supporters that they will make a difference to their chosen causes by leaving a gift in will of whatever size and sort.
