We are close to meeting our end-of-year fundraising goal! Just a few days left to donate. Here are three reasons we need your support today. 1. Our Training and Education program is free - and it’s going to stay that way. Our Training and Education program is funded mostly by grants and donations. We do not charge registration fees. This program has grown quickly in the past three years, serving more than 2,000 defenders every year. We are committed to ensuring these services will remain free so that all defenders have access to the training and support they need, especially in under-resourced jurisdictions. We depend on you to keep this free. 2. Costs have risen. We are determined to pay all of our staff a fair and competitive wage and provide benefits that give every team member the support that they and their families need. With inflation and a team of 14, those costs are higher than they were when ARC was working in our executive director’s basement almost ten years ago. While the costs of travel, records collection, and even client commissary have increased significantly, the fees for services that most courts authorize for our work have remained stagnant. In many of the jurisdictions where we work the rates for mitigation services have not risen in years, which means we need additional sources of support to keep our organization sustainable. 3. We have big plans to change the world. Last week, after a year of working with staff, board members, and other stakeholders, our board of directors approved a new visionary strategic plan for the future of the organization’s work. It includes programming to bring empathy, equity, and justice to all those engaged in the criminal legal system as well as leveraging mitigation to prevent future harm. All of this means that donations from you, our community, are needed today. We hope you'll make a donation to support our work. https://lnkd.in/gfdGci8r

As we head into the next general election, this event will help charities and funders to better understand current Conservative views on civil society, and what it means for them. We will be joined by Samuel Kasumu, former Special Adviser to the Prime Minister on Civil Society and Communities, and Jo Gideon MP to discuss: What differing approaches to the role of civil society are there in the Conservative Party? What might these differing approaches mean for civil society? How can the sector best influence the Conservative party in the run-up to, and following, the general election? https://lnkd.in/etFybKQ3

From our work, we know that people associated with #print and the allied trades are forced to make impossible choices because they can’t afford the essentials. Change in circumstance can only be a step away, and with the election next week, we are joining with Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), The Trussell Trust and more than 200 other charitable and community organisations to ask our political leaders: where is your urgent plan to tackle hardship? #OurEssentials
