Emergency Appeal: Save Our Charity

Dear friends, donors, and interested people,

Since the post- COVID-19 collpase in funding for charities and the Trumpian- fuelled reductions in foreign overseas aid, as a charity we have stripped all of our costs to the bone in order to preserve the long-term survival of Action Change. We are getting by day-to-day, but barely.

Our strategy has been to move from a more formal paid employee model to an intern and proffessional volunteer based framework where we have different people who do specific tasks for us, for example 2 people that do marketing, 1 who does copywriting, and 1 who works on websites. Whilst this is excellent at reducing costs, these proffessional volunteers can only give up a few hours per week for Action Change given that they work full-time jobs. We genuinely couldn't survive without our proffessional volunteers and they are a core pillar of our charity but we would love to recruit another full, or part time employee in the future to help keep things running smoothly.

For now however, the focus is just on surviving month to month in order to keep all of our projects running. Thank you for your support - it is needed now more than ever.
