Around the same time as International Charity Day, we have just received the latest update from our friends at Just Small Change, a charity we have long supported.
Just Small Change works in some of the poorest parts of the world to help people escape poverty through small scale loans for business development. Not only does this help deliver a better life but does so in a way that also restores pride and purpose for the individuals and families. The following update from Coinadrink Limited is the first we have received post-Covid, so we’re happy to hear from the charity.
World Humanitarian Day is a global celebration of people helping people. The theme for 2021 is centred around the impact of climate change and how that is destroying homes, livelihoods and even lives, but the general idea is how we can come together in support of those who need it most.
Coinadrink Limited shares a similar ethos through our support of the Just Small Change charity. Just Small Change operates abroad in some of the poorest parts of the world. We have supported the organisation for some time now, so on World Humanitarian Day we just thought we’d remind you of our efforts and why we do it.
In 2020, Ian Hawkins’ family were told by doctors and nurses at The Walsall Manor Hospital to prepare for the worst. Ian was admitted into hospital after developing Covid-19 symptoms and experiencing breathing difficulties, and from there his health rapidly declined. Within 24 hours, he was placed on full ventilation.
Ian spent over two months in hospital having suffered from a multitude of serious conditions from pneumonia and sepsis to multiple organ failure and a secondary bacterial infection. He was an extremely sick man.
Remarkably, and with the help of the incredible Critical Care Rehabilitation Team at The Walsall Manor Hospital, Ian fought back to tell the tale today. Now, he wants to give something back to show his appreciation. Ian’s Walk will be taking place on Sunday 27th June, a 26 mile hike that will hopefully raise valuable funds for the department. And Coinadrink Limited are proud sponsors!
West Midlands vending firm Coinadrink Limited has already participated in a variety of charitable schemes this year as communities up and down the country look to pull together amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. So we were only too happy to get on board with the “Christmas Wish List” programme for sick children, devised by the Well Wishers charity located in our Walsall Manor Hospital. Read more
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it has been a long time since we provided an update on the Just Small Change charity we are so proud to support. So we were delighted when our good friends Peter and Jane Donaghue, registered trustees of the organisation, got in touch with us with a positive update.
Charity work never stands still here at Coinadrink and every so often we pledge our support for a ‘chosen charity’. It goes without saying that all charities help some great causes, so deciding on who to support is often a tough decision for us. But after some deep thought, close consultation with our employees (and a touching letter from the respected organisation that was well appreciated) we’re thrilled to announce that The Way Youth Zone is our chosen charity!
For those of you who may have forgotten, Coinadrink is proud to support Just Small Change as one of our chosen charities. We last issued an update in November 2018, detailing the introduction of “table banking” that allowed group members to easily borrow money to help improve their livelihoods. Now, we are happy to hear that the organisation is going from strength to strength, and there’s now a new update to share…
Just Small Change is a microfinance charity that Coinadrink has been supporting for a while. Peter and Jane Donaghue are friends of ours and we are delighted to help make a difference in some of the poorest parts of the world. We were delighted to receive an update from Peter and Jane last week regarding the organisations’ progress, including the introduction of “table banking” alongside their current scheme.
As you know, Just Small Change is a microfinance charity that supports some of the poorest parts of the world. Peter and Jane Donaghue founded the organisation in 2011 and we are proud to call the couple as firm friends of ours. We are equally proud to support the charity, and we have donated to the organisation through lots of varied ways including a percentage of the money raised from the sales of our bottled water. We are always pleased to hear of success stories from the charity, and we’re delighted to now present another positive update from Kisumu in Kenya.
