Acts of service, particularly in the form of #charitywork, offer substantial benefits for businesses and their staff. Engaging in #philanthropic activities enhances their reputation, fosters stronger #community relationships, and cultivates a positive #corporate image. #Volunteering also provides #networking opportunities, connecting them with like-minded individuals and potential business partners who share similar values. Additionally, acts of service can boost #employee morale and loyalty, as workers often feel proud to be part of a socially responsible organisation. Ultimately, by investing time and resources into charitable endeavors, business leaders not only contribute to societal well-being but also strengthen their own businesses through increased goodwill and strategic alliances. #comfortcasesuk #benevity #giveback #actsofservice 📷Kourosh packing #comfortcases for young people in #essex

At Comfort Cases UK we believe that no child should ever have to carry their life in a bin bag.
About us
Our mission is to bring a sense of hope and dignity to children entering and moving around the UK foster care system by ending the practise of black bin bags and shopping bags through the provision of a backpack filled with items centred around their needs and showing them they are loved and respected. A comfort case. We also supply empty flat pack duffels bags so that precious belongings can be packed with care and respect. Our work is funded by grants, donations and sponsorship so that we can offer a child-centred free service to Local Authorities, Independent Agencies and Homes, Secure Units, the Police Service and NHS. #nomorebinbags

How does #CSR (#esg) look in your company? Morelli Group have found a way to support #childrenincare by offering storage space to #comfortcases. Yes we have a premises but buying in bulk or accepting large #donations increases our opportunity to #support more children and young people across the UK, especially as we see the #demand grow and the #fundingpot become increasingly competitive. Rob Cohen kindly offered us the space to store 8 pallets of #cuddlytoys donated by Ferrero, and organised by In Kind Direct, knowing that this would save us #storagecosts and also introduce his team to the #nomorebinbags #treasuresnottrash initiative. Sammi has named all the sloths and we are delighted to introduce you to…….Barry, Barry,Barry, Barry and Barry 🦥🦥🦥🦥🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒🎒 Thank you to everyone involved in this wonderful donation #everyoneneedsabarry https://lnkd.in/gvKzxxRp

Don’t make the baggage heavier……give them a #comfortcase
Clinical Psychologist | Supporting children access trauma informed help | Up-skilling front line practitioners working in education, health & social care to deliver the Healing Together programmes.
Every child will be carrying ‘baggage’ around with them, what’s in that bag will never be known to us. That’s because…. We possibly can’t know what has felt traumatic for a child. You don’t need to know what the child has experienced to offer a trauma informed response. #traumainformed #childrensmentalhealth #domesticabuse #childrenincare #earlyyears

LEAVE THE PAST IN THE PAST 👋 Or should you? 🤔Reflection is a huge part of growth and understanding. 👀 Seeing things from an insider’s perspective using their own experience to share understanding is vital. 💎 Everyone’s journey is unique, but everyone’s voice matters.

🖋 Finally put the pen down for a while whilst my editor works her magic. I get really nervous about sharing writing, be it poetry, an article or anything I create. There is something really vulnerable about putting a part of yourself out there for the world to see. ❤️ Still I adore the opportunity to build connection. I am still blown away when people reach out to me about my poetry collection and this one means even more to me as I hope it will help the amazing people out there supporting our children in care. Coming this autumn you can add you email to my watch list right here https://rowanaderyn.com/ and I will let you know when it is released. #nervous #writing #author #careexperience #connection #sharing #fostered #careleaver

#SmallCharityWeek: We're supporting Comfort Cases UK 🌟 At Carter Brown, we believe in making a difference, especially when it comes to the well-being of children entering the care system. This #SmallCharityWeek, we are proud to support Comfort Cases UK, a charity that provides children with essential items and comforting belongings, offering them a sense of security during challenging times. Did you know that four out of five children move homes with their belongings in bin bags, risking damage or loss? Comfort Cases UK is changing that narrative. By partnering with over 100 UK Local Authorities, they strive to provide a sense of belonging and safety for children aged 0-18. We're excited to announce our commitment to this cause: 💙 Donating 50p from every confirmed case 💙 Contributing all proceeds from our fundraising events this year 💙 Aiming to provide a minimum of 50 cases to support this incredible charity Join us in making a positive impact! If you want to find out more, visit the Comfort Cases UK website and discover how you can help. #CarterBrown #ComfortCasesUK #CharitySupport #MakingADifference #ChildWelfare #CommunitySupport

WE NEED YOUR HELP ‼️ Our backpack supplier is out of stock until early September 🙈😫 A Comfort Case doesn’t exist unless we have rucksacks! #️⃣ the dimensions are 43x14x30cm (or 20L) 🎒They must be proper rucksacks, not drawstring bags ❤️they must be good quality and sturdy 🏷️ ideal no company branding (we want the young people to fit it with their peers and not experience more stigma or discrimination) As a community, I am hoping that someone in our collective networks will be able to help. Please share this with your networks - we are looking to source approx 1000 rucksacks asap as our shelves are almost bare…….. #branding #wholesale #procurement #bags #rucksacks #corporatedonsti
