Whether you have an official AGM for charity giving or a good social rep who organises charity collection pots – we would love you to consider us as your next Charity of the Year, or at your next event, no matter how small. Like many charities, we rely on individual donations to fund our research, We’re a very small charity and we are ENTIRELY volunteers, who are patients, family, friends, or carers of someone living with NF2. Everyone has lived experience of NF2. What do we do? We increase awareness of NF2 related schwannomatosis (NF2) connect patients for support and offer hope to patients and their families and ultimately to fundraise to develop treatments or a cure for NF2. Our beneficiaries, in the UK, about 1000 people are affected by NF2 (incl. 330 children). At the present time only 40% of children are diagnosed in childhood. We need to ensure the physical and emotional wellbeing of these children as they grow up without the need for invasive surgeries or treatments that may rob them of their nerve functions one at a time. Or why not hold an event to benefit us, there are lots of ideas that will allow you to raise money for us. Let us know if you can help us in any way, or if you could nominate us to your employer or indeed if you run a business yourself, Or do you want to support someone who works with you who has NF2? We would LOVE to talk to you about how you can help us change the lives of those with NF2 related Schwannomatosis. Please message or email us [email protected] or [email protected] Thankyou. #endNF2 #NF2awareness #neurofibromatosistype2 #schwannomatosis #NF2support #nf2 #nf2family #nf2warrior #LetstalkNF2 #nf2charity #nf2cure #nf2treatment #nf2gene #nf2chromosome22 #nf2trials #nf2diagnosis #nf2lifeexpectancy #nf2prognosis #nf2research #nf2ismyteam #nf2awarenessday #nf2journey #StrongerTogetherAgainstNF2

Charity fund raising. Great to support charities but where are your donations going to in reality? Do you know how much is actually going to your Charity of choice? Many charities are desperate for much needed funds. Make sure your money goes to where you choose. Why not gift directly to the charity and cut out the middlemen? Need help on philanthropic giving in the most tax efficient way? We can assist you. #charitygiving #giftaid #Probono ‘Emotional blackmail’: inside the agencies raising millions for GOSH https://lnkd.in/eRvBjrSF

Hello everyone, I'm currently seeking a UK-based Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) charity with a young/any brown female serving as a Non-Executive Director (NED) or Executive member. If you're aware of any organisations meeting this criteria, I'd greatly appreciate your input. Additionally, I'm open to recommendations of other charitable causes, or innovative startups in the UK or developed nations that have already prioritised brown female diversity at the Exec/NED levels. Upon reviewing data from the Charity Commission's website (https://lnkd.in/eutx3crk), here's a summary of findings for a few major IBS charities in the UK, including their funding for the year ended 31st January 2023 and trustee composition: - The IBS Network: £165k, 3 trustees (White men and white women) - Guts UK: £1.2m, 12 trustees (Indian men and whites - professors & doctors) - GUTS: £80k, 11 trustees (White men and white women) - Bowel & Cancer Research: £0, 2 trustees (White woman & white man) - Bowel Cancer UK: £6.2m, 12 trustees (Whites) - Crohn's and Colitis UK: £7.2m, 12 trustees (Indian men and whites) - Digestive Disorders Foundation: £2k, 4 trustees (Indian and white men - doctors) - British Society of Gastroenterology: £3.3m, 14 trustees (Indian men and whites) Based on the above credible charity register, I observed a lack of brown female Executive members or Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) within IBS charities in the UK. Your insights or suggestions would be invaluable 📈 😎 Best regards, Jan #Charity #DiversityandInclusion #Nonprofit #IBS #WomeninLeadership #ExecutiveDiversity #SocialImpact #BoardDiversity #UK #Worldwide

🌟 Celebrating Charities 🌟 Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know more about two local charities. To say I’ve been inspired by what they do is an understatement! ************** Every day, charities around the world work tirelessly to address social issues, support vulnerable people and do what they can to bring about positive change. These organisations whether international, national or local are often the backbone of any compassionate society. Yet, despite their invaluable contributions, many charities struggle to secure the funding they need to continue their vital work; with many of them needing to raise all the funds themselves. Their dedication is nothing short of heroic, but the path they walk is often fraught with challenges, particularly when it comes to funding. 💔 The Reality of Funding Challenges: Competing Priorities: With so many worthy causes, donations are often spread thin, making it hard for charities to stand out. Economic Fluctuations: Economic downturns and uncertainty can significantly impact donation levels. Limited Awareness: Smaller charities often struggle to reach potential donors and highlight their cause effectively. Grant Dependence: Many charities rely on grants that are highly competitive and can be unpredictable. Despite these obstacles, the unwavering spirit and determination of many of the people that work in these organisations is truly inspiring. Personally, I try to support some charities but if I'm honest that has usually been financially rather than giving up my time. I am though looking at options to give my time too in the future. 🌟 Ways We Can Make a Difference: Financial Donations: Every bit helps and can make a significant impact. Volunteering: Offer your time, skills, and expertise. Spreading the Word: Use your voice to raise awareness about their cause. Corporate Partnerships: Businesses can offer strategic support and resources. I think it is always worth acknowledging the incredible efforts of charities and what they achieve. By joining with them we can help to ensure these vital organisations continue to thrive and make a difference. 👉 How are you already contributing to the success of charities?
