4GOOD

Our 2024 Wrapped! I've been crunching the numbers, and it’s nice to see the growth and positive impact 4GOOD's had this year. There will be some shifts and changes for 2025, but we promise to keep working on our own sustainability goals while inspiring others to do more good 🦾 This year has had its fair share of ups and downs, but I'm so grateful to everyone who's been part of 4GOOD so far. Thank you, you're all awesome 💚 Lottie Hanson-Lowe Tabita Bobs James Davies Mahek Thawrani Gwen Chen, plus Jaskiran Mangat CJ Tayeh Chhaya Kapila Dani Betts Luke Smolinski and Pietro Piantanida .. and so many more! x

Hot off the press 🗞 - Reality Check on Micro-Events; Sustainability is not (yet) the priority, research led by 4GOOD. As sustainability gains momentum, large companies dominate. But what about the smaller players? At 4GOOD, we work alongside event organisers from charities, social enterprises, and small businesses, and we wanted to explore the unique challenges they face. Our 2024 report, based on in-depth research with organisers and attendees, sheds light on these struggles—and how the current sustainability movement may leave some behind. Download the full report here, or drop a comment and we'll DM you a copy: https://lnkd.in/ek35nXdi Let us know what you think! Thank you to everyone who participated in the interviews and survey, and to everyone who contributed to this research - Tabita Bobs, Bryonie Mathews, Fran Harris, PhD, Rabeena Raveendrakumar, Rosie N.
