St Chads Hands-on
St Chads, along with the charity sector as a whole, (well, in truth, every sector), are facing into the headwinds of increased costs of overheads. The rhetoric on top has promoted an air of austerity. The reality for community services is that we’re already doing it as lean and mean as we can. The risk is that added pressure eats into resourcing the delivery of quality services.
Given that charity organisations are particularly vulnerable to cost rises the following may seem a counter-intuitive statement; that community services can, and do, lead that way through the storm.
That’s because:
-?we are always being asked to do more with less
-?we are staffed by people with a motivation to serve our most vulnerable communities
-?we understand the dynamic of social outcomes, social impact investment, rights and responsibilities.
-?and… we know how to ask for help.
So, here it is. St Chads needs your help. We’ve set up a Givealittle page. (https://lnkd.in/gcbEZJ3g)
Paying the bills on increased costs for services and maintenance on building, vehicles, lifts etc should not impact on our core work here. Supplying materials and tools for art and woodwork result in marvellous creations but so much more is achieved with the Lifeskills gained from getting hands-on experience with all sorts of tools, machinery and mediums.
Whether donation, on-sharing the page, or connecting with our story, you’re giving us that light through the storm. Thank You.?
