As we are approaching the eve of 2021, charitable giving in the UK is down across the board, and the situation in the third sector seems bleak. Many charities are fighting tooth and nail for survival, while others have found ways to endure the pandemic. How did they do it?
From humble beginnings in 2014, the Weston Charity Awards have grown and now support charities across the North and Midlands of England, and Wales. The Awards are open to a diverse range of organisations - previous winners have included a YMCA in the Midlands, a community hub in Greater Manchester, and a social arts organisation in Cardiff.
Working Wise
In partnership with the Garfield Weston Foundation today we are launching a call for applications for the 2021 Weston Charity Awards, alongside new research showing the extreme pressures currently faced by small charities.
We are delighted to announce that we are expanding our partnership with BlackRock for a fourth year.
Our latest initiative, Conversation for Change, distils the essence of our strategic development programmes into a single, 90-minute virtual meeting with up to eight senior business leaders.
13 senior leaders from the company will participate in the yearlong Pilotlight 360, sharing their business expertise to support a range of causes through the challenges they face, whilst developing their own leadership skills.
"I enjoyed working with colleagues from other divisions, making networks, learning more about the charity sector and how charities function and having direct communication with people who work closely in the sector. Also, I could make a real difference and give input to the charity."
