I echo what Stephen has said. Our volunteering day at St Luke's Charity Shop in Crookes, Sheffield was indeed "hard work, but fun." Spending the whole day on our feet was quite tiring for those of us who usually sit at a desk... More importantly, it was a real eye opener too, highlighting the following points: 1). How much effort goes into running a Charity Shop, particularly behind the scenes. 2). How much money is needed by St Luke's each year in order to keep doing their fantastic work. Total required this year is £14 Million. NHS funds 25% so that leaves c.£10.5 Million to be raised through donations, legacies, retail shops and other activities. Many thousands of Sheffield folks will have their lives touched in some way by St Luke's. So if you can spare your time to volunteer, or are able to donate (either cash or unwanted items) then please give generously. You will be supporting a great cause! https://lnkd.in/euze8eyi

Volunteers are the beating heart of our programmes. They generously donate their time to give information, advice and young people thinking about their next steps after school or college. Volunteers are crucial for charities to achieve their goals. That's why we offer all of our staff volunteer leave so they can donate their work time to another good cause.

This week we're celebrating 40 years of Volunteers' Week! 🤩 Each and every one of our volunteers plays a massive part in what we're able to achieve every single day! Without them, we simply couldn't treat as many poorly pets as we do. From sorting through stock donations and getting them ready to be displayed on the shop floor, to helping our lovely customers find their perfect second-hand pieces, there’s always something fun to do and new skills to learn 👏 Why not give volunteering a go for yourself? http://pdsa.me/U7cA [Visual description: A series of clips of volunteers in various PDSA charity shops. The clips involve them sorting through clothes on the shop floor, sorting through donated books, arranging the shops displays and steaming clothes.] #VolunteersWeek #Volunteer #Volunteers #Volunteering #VolunteerOpportunities #Charity #CharityShop

#leaders #fundraisers #community Don’t Get Complacent – The Giving Season is Here! As the season of giving approaches, it’s easy to settle into a routine and feel comfortable. But now is not the time for complacency. This is the time to reflect on the opportunities we have to make a difference – in our communities, in our businesses, and in the lives of those around us. Whether it’s through charitable contributions, volunteering, or taking new initiatives, every small effort counts. Let’s remember that the giving season is about more than just generosity; it’s about being proactive, staying involved, and pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zones. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

❤️ Giving back is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference in our world. Whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading awareness, every little bit helps. Together, we can create positive change. What causes matter most to you?

Instilling the values of charity and giving back from a young age can have a profound impact. Encourage teens to set aside a portion of their money for causes they are passionate about, whether it be supporting local communities, environmental initiatives, or global outreach programs. 🌍🤝 This practice not only fosters a sense of social responsibility but also helps build empathy and compassion by understanding the needs of others. Involving teens in the decision-making process regarding charitable contributions can empower them and underline the importance of thoughtful giving. Engaging in these types of activities can cultivate lifelong habits of generosity and mindfulness, ultimately shaping a more compassionate future generation. 🙌 #Charity #YouthEmpowerment #SocialResponsibility
