It is always nice to start the new year with positivity, I tell myself every January 1st. As many people know, working in the charity sector is not for the faint-hearted. You never know what each day will bring. Here at BWtL, we are always trying to do the best we can for the people we work with, with what we have. Time, money, and people are huge key factors in our efforts.
Today, we received an email which boosted morale hugely. We have been recognised by one of our long-time funders as a potential recipient of their Giving Network initiative. This is for those charities that are 'making a difference in the region.'
There are thousands of charities in the North East, all doing incredible work, despite the obstacles we all face in the day-to-day running of our organisations. So, to be considered for this opportunity is absolutely fantastic, and we are excited to see if the work we do here at BWtL is enough to get us to the final four.
But even if it isn't, we will never give up doing what we do.
