Stuart Geeves’ Post

Big day tomorrow thanks for all the sponsors so far still plenty of time for more. I am raising much needed funds for SCAA to help this important service to continue to operate in Scotland by taking part in the ride the north 100 mile bike ride on the 26th of August 2023.I hope you can donate as the funds will be much appreciated even if it’s a pound to take words from Tesco every little helps. SCAA currently operates two helicopters, both EC135-T2is, and one rapid response vehicle - taking expert paramedic care to the scene of time-critical emergencies, whether it be on a road, in a field or at someone’s home. SCAA then transports patients to specialist hospitals to receive the most appropriate advanced care. SCAA makes a difference - a patient’s chance of survival and full recovery are greatly increased if they receive the right medical care within the first hour of injury or illness. The fast response of SCAA and its ability to reach Scotland’s most remote and rural areas saves vital minutes when every second really does count. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

This week is hashtag #SmallCharityWeek. It was recently calculated by UK Civil Society Almanac 2023 that in the past 4 years, UK small charity donations have dropped by £4.6 Billion at the same time as donations to large charities have increased by £4.5 billion. That tells us two things: 1. People are still generously supporting causes. 2. Small charities are struggling and many are even closing their doors or merging with others on the edge of closure. In all the years I've worked for charities I've never known a time like this. The reality of a global cost of living crisis and, of course, a national cost of living crisis hits the work of small charities on two fronts. The need for the work of small charities has increased with the economic challenges like those we have been in since the start of the pandemic. People who may have been potential supporters are having to cut personal and family budgets just to keep their own finances in balance. It is a huge challenge for those of us trying to raise funds for the great causes we believe in. Paper Boat is no exception. It is as challenging a landscape for us as it is for any charity of our small size but we will keep going because we believe in the infinite potential of the children we work with. So, here's the challenge. I'd love to add 10 new regular supporters to our donor list this small charities week. As little as £5 a month makes a real difference to the children we serve. If this is you, please click the link below and join us in inspiring & enabling children to change their world. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eNcuT4ax Now, I am aware that you may not be able to donate, can I ask you to help us by sharing this post? Any interaction makes a big difference.

A quick and easy way to positively affect the world is to support charities and good causes. The good news is that it doesn't always cost money to support your chosen charity. The benefact group regularly gift money to charities and good causes in the UK. They run regular draws for small amounts or for charities who tackle particular objectives. They ask individuals to nominate registered UK charities for the chance to win grants, and the more nominations a charity gets, the more chance they have of winning the funding. So, if you have a favourite charity, why not nominate them for the next draw? #Charity #Grants #positiveaction

Imagine leaving a legacy only for it to end up in the wrong place. Donating your hard-earned wealth to charity? Don't let it disappear into the wrong hands due to a single oversight - an incorrect charity code.👇 With countless similarly named charities and often multiple branches. To be certain your hard-earned wealth is passed onto the right charity, you should ensure you always include the correct corresponding charity code.⚠️ The correct code is key to ensuring your wealth reaches the right charity, the one you truly care about. So it's imperative you list the corresponding codes in your will or on your expression of wishes form. The Charity Commission for England and Wales serves as your reliable guide. Here, you can cross-verify the charity number, thereby eliminating room for ambiguity or error, and ensuring your charity is unquestionably identified. See the link in the comments. What charity would you like to leave a legacy to? If you find this information valuable, give it a like, share, or tag someone who needs to see this.👇

Q: Is a Charity considered a Not-for-Profit in Canada❓ A: Yes, a charity is often referred to as a nonprofit organization (NPO) in Canada. Both charities and NPOs operate on a non-profit basis, meaning they do not exist to generate profits for individuals. However, it's important to note that charities and NPOs are defined differently under the Income Tax Act. Charities have obtained charitable status from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which comes with certain benefits and obligations specific to charitable purposes.

"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

Good evening Pilots and Cabin Attendants, Did you know that there are local organizations that will take donations of packaged foods that are past the stamped “best by date, or expired on date” to give to local impoverished families? This is so they do not have to choose between eating and paying bills. In Rhode Island we have a non-profit called; Project Hand Up. They serve hundreds of customers per week. When you are provisioning your Jet, removing expired snacks from the storage locker keep these organizations in mind and donate to them instead of just throwing the food away. What non-profit will you be donating your expired snacks to? Comment below!
