It’s easy to feel powerless at home when thinking about injustice. However, there is so much that you can do to get involved and make a difference!
Here are just a few of the many ways you can take action by supporting charities:
Share content
Sharing helps to generate more traffic to websites and social media platforms. This helps to increase the visibility of a charity so that more people are aware of who they are and what they do. As a result, charities are able to reach even more people and receive more donations to fund projects. Whether you are liking posts on Instagram or Facebook, retweeting, or reposting on your stories, your engagement really does go a long way!
Volunteer
There are multiple ways to do this – from fundraising to marketing and administration you can definitely find something that is suited to you! It’s a great opportunity to develop skills and be creative whilst helping others in the process. Ways to fundraise could range from hosting a games night with friends and family, holding an auction or doing an activity you enjoy such as swimming and getting sponsored for it. (For more fundraising ideas look out for our next post!)
Sign up to newsletters
You can sign up to the newsletters of charities and stay updated on the latest news and projects that are currently underway. Receiving regular updates on the work they have done and their plans going forward is a great way to feel part of the community and engage more with what they do.
Donate
Your donations fund the work that organisations carry out. Such generosity truly changes the lives of others and empowers those who need it the most. WellFound have multiple platforms to do so including GlobalGiving and 100% of all donations go directly to our projects. We are truly grateful for every penny we receive!
Sometimes it feels as though these actions do not amount to much and it is very easy to feel detached. Just remember that every time you take these small steps you are making a big difference in someone else’s life!

Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
