The results of our annual impact survey are in. We’ve found that, over the last year, there has been a surge in youth food insecurity as a result of the cost of living crisis. The survey also found that: 🍏 The number of charities seeing 18-25 year olds accessing food support has doubled in the last year 🍏 The cost of living crisis is forcing young people to seek support from local charities, which are under pressure 🍏 Almost half (43%) of charities we provide food to would likely have to close down without support from FareShare Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eiVmJmGQ

DID YOU KNOW?... Five reasons why local government is important to charities 1️⃣ Unlike central government, which is focused on national issues, local government is focused on delivering change at the level of local communities – where the majority of charities operate. 2️⃣ Local government is responsible for a range of frontline services that link to the work of charities, such as social care, education and housing. 3️⃣ Charities often deliver these services in partnership with or on behalf of local government. 4️⃣ Policymakers in local government can find innovative solutions to problems using the insight and experience of charities. 5️⃣ Strong local leadership can inspire residents to support and volunteer for charities.

Did you know Food Forward has a win-win-win business model? That means our organization is a win for the community, a win for the environment, and a win for the produce industry! And at the same time, we manage to keep our operations financially efficient. In 2023 we kept our cost to recover and distribute produce at approximately $.07/lb and returned a social impact value of $168 million to communities across the region.

One of the projects I have especially enjoyed working on at Vidir (and for other organizations) has been the creation of Values branding and strategy. Finding out what values the company already operates by and then creating memorable structure around those values. Values shouldn’t just be words you sometimes reference in company literature. They should be memorable, actionable, and integrated into all you do.

2024 is shaping up to be a year where you'll need to ensure the maximum return on all your efforts and investment.

If you are a CEO in a charity, I strongly recommend that your Chair joins the Association of Chairs. Their publication ‘A Question of Balance’ is a brilliant document that details all you need to know about how to build an effective working relationship between the Chair and CEO. If every organisation strived to have these fundamental ways of working in place, I really believe that charities would achieve more. #makeadifference #charity #leadership
