October is a month of change. Changing season, changing colours, changing temperatures and changing calendars, Yes changing calendars. October used to be the 8th month of the year - Oct-agon 8 sides, however in our modern calendar it is now the 10th month of the year.

    Cost of Living Support Resources for VCSE's

    CAS Cost of Living Resources Support

    Britain is facing its biggest cost of living crisis in decades which is not only impacting households and individuals but the voluntary and community sector too. We know that organisations are highly concerned about rising costs, losing valued members of staff to other sectors which pay more, losing volunteers and declining mental health across the voluntary and paid workforce as individuals face their own cost of living crises. We’ve pulled together a list of support and resources for organisations.

    We know how difficult it is for voluntary and third sector groups to access funding; that is why we have partnered with easyfundraising, the online fundraising platform that turns online shopping into free donations for your charity, CIC, village hall or community organisation.

    Do you know about Easyfundraising !

    Did you know that thousands of online retailers including Sainsbury’s, eBay, Tesco, M&S, Asda, Argos, Just Eat, Morrisons, Trainline and booking.com will all donate money to your organisation when your community of supporters shop with them?

    Whenever one of your supporters (members, volunteers, staff, trustees, donors etc) buys something online, the retailer will send your organisation either a flat monetary amount or a percentage of what the online shopper spends, without it costing the shopper anything extra.

    All the shopper needs to do is start their shopping journey at fundraising website easyfundraising.
