Fundraising for charities
Many high-profile charities benefit hugely from legacies and significant donations. Local charities putting their hearts and souls into fundraising are often not supported by the communities they directly benefit. Ali Unlimited worked for a local cancer charity and immediately saw the gap.
Ali Unlimited is delighted to be working with local charities that help and support local people, their families and friends. Examples include:
- Wessex Cancer Trust which supports anyone whose life has been affected by cancer, whether patient, family member or carer.
- PSP is a degenerative, life-limiting, progressive disease that robs the patient of eye sight, the ability to walk and talk. These are just a few of the symptoms.
From time to time I send out JustGiving links, highlighting the next personal challenge I will undertake. So far, I walked 100K of the Thames Path, where the distance was the challenge. I walked 26 miles of the Monopoly Board Challenge around the streets of London – pavement-bashing certainly made me realise how much I value my knees and hips. It was very hard going. I also overcame a fear of being out of my depth in water to swim a mile of the Thames. I urge you to visit the page and give whatever you can.
Please don’t ask me to jump out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane as I’m afraid of heights! However, I’m up for lots of other endurance challenges. I believe it’s good to get out of your comfort zone now and again.
Hence, any charity can approach Ali Unlimited for support and help with fundraising; it is my belief that all charity begins at home, and there is nothing closer to home than your own community.
Focus Focus Focus!
I hear all the time from business owners that they spend too much time doing what they do and not focusing on the bigger picture. It doesn’t matter whether it is plumbing, dog walking, deep tissue massage, web site development; none of them are catching up on the processes necessary for running a successful business.
Precious family time is eaten into while catching up on paperwork. Business admin is tiring and non-stop; filing receipts, clients’ record sheets, spreadsheets, accounting. Let’s not mention the family finances that also need your attention.
And when that’s complete, there’s household admin; cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, gardening, rubbish and recycling, pushing round the hoover.
It’s called a work / life balance. Have you got one?
Ali Unlimited exists to help you cope with paperwork, processes, red tape, HR issues, risk assessments, marketing, networking, installing CRMs. Raising your businesses profile through social media, training and admin are what I do best – and they are all the things you know you should be doing but simply don’t have the time for.
I urge you to make those changes this year, start as you mean to go on and give me a call.
