Hi. Have tried letters in the press without much success. New UK registered charity is desperate for volunteers so it can pursue its objectives. Do you have experience of recruiting volunteers? If so, how did you find them, and do you have any good ideas for how a charity can appeal for volunteers without needing to spend too much money? Things like posters in local shops won’t really work as we cover the whole UK. Thank you very much.
TO THE SPITEFUL CRITICS BELOW WHO KNOW NOTHING OF OUR CHARITY =
1. ALL our staff are UNPAID volunteers, including our very hard working Charity Director - co-operative community volunteering is our core ethic.
2. We do NOT promote anything r.e. ‘carbon footprint’ i.e. bogus offsetting/trading - we are engaged in active open-minded research to present facts to the public, not hype, not a commercial agenda about Global Warming. We strive to give a balanced view.
3. 100% of our income goes to our objectives & nothing else.
4. We work towards helping disadvantaged people live Greener with practical aid & save/replant rainforest.
PLEASE check your cynical nasty views r.e. charities before spitting them at us, because we DON’T DESERVE YOUR BILE. Thank you.
I am 29. I live in Leicester England. When I was 19 I had been accepted on an Art/Design foundation course, but found out shortly afterwards that I was pregnant so gave up my dream of becoming a High school Art teacher. I am currently supported financially by my partner, & do not qualify for benefits. Would I be able to go back to College & get any financial support from the government to help me do this, as I know that the equipment is very expensive? Also, things have changed a lot in the past 10 years, as far as what qualifications are required to get into this field, so any info will be great. Thank you.
Whats the link? My second eldest daughter is in the "Miss Auckland" beauty contest & the charity they are raising money for is the "New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation" You can help them both at the same time by visiting the site - www.missauckland.co.nz & vote for my daughter Vicky - she is "miss sefton construction". You can vote once every 24 hours & if you feel so inclined you have the oportunity to make a donation to the foundation. So for all you sceptics out there you can see that beauty contests aren’t just for the vain but also are there to help people.
Sorry got carried away with myself. The question is do you think this is a good way of getting people to become aware of illnesses like breast cancer or should there not be a link between the two?
On a few occasions, spaceships leaving our Solar System have brought with them "Greetings from Earth" - sounds & pictures from our planet . The Cosmica Awards builds on their legacy, inviting citizens around the world to elect their own symbols to represent us in the cosmos. Once a year, the winning entries will be presented at a prestigious UK ceremony. See: http://www.cosmica.org
By doing this, we want to put the Beauty of Nature and Richness of Culture into the bigger scheme of things - widen our horizons while creating a positive foundation for future Peace and Progress.
The project already enjoys wide moral support. But it also requires practical help with things like donation of UK office space, volunteer staff, marketing & general financial support. We look for people who want to make their mark in History, or earn commission as fund-raisers, as well as businesses who wish to be recognized for their support of a noble cause.
Anyone who knows how & where to find them?
