Nominate a good cause and get cash

In times like these, looking out for each other, giving when we can, and random acts of kindness are now more important than ever. And we want to start talking, continue listening, and join in with spreading some of that much-needed positivity.

This winter, we want to give back. But we also want to reward you guys! So, we've teamed up with giffgaff to give you the chance to nominate a cause or community project that you're passionate about, and also get some extra cash for yourself.

Give back with giffgaff
and Capital

As part of their continued commitment to refurbishing, recycling and gifting old phones for good, giffgaff has joined up with Capital to give back even more. As well as giffgaff giving you cash to recycle old phones (also great for the planet), and the option to donate the value to those in need, for the next year they are also promising even more!

For the next year we want to support communities across the UK as much as we can – and we'd love for you to get involved.

So, starting this winter, we are going to give away £500 each month to a cause of your choice, plus £500 for you too! Together, we can make a real difference.

giffgaff – the mobile network run by you

Hiya. We're giffgaff. A mobile network that keeps things nice and flexible. We don't do contracts and you can change your monthly plan wherever you like.

Community is at the heart of everything we do. And right now, our focus is on reducing waste and getting old phones back into circulation. Did you know, there's over 55 million phones in the UK sitting around in our drawers? Think about all that untapped potential, and opportunity to unlock value! Now think about how glorious it'd be to do something about it, together.

So we're asking you to have a good ole' rummage for any old or unused phones and do one of the following:

• Refurbish your phone
• Recycle your phone
• Gift for good

We believe every small change can make a big impact, so if you get involved you'll help create a more sustainable environment for us all. Out with the old, now let's do something new.

Refurbish, recycle, give back

Refurbish your phone

See if you can trade in your phone with us. We'll give it a tidy up and find it a happy home. And you’ll even get some cash in return. Win-win.

Gift for good

When you sell your phone with giffgaff, you can choose to donate part or all of the value to a lovely charitable cause. With the Neighbourly Foundation, your money will help support local communities.

Our projects

As part of their continued commitment to 'give back', giffgaff have partnered with the Neighbourly Foundation to give vital support to grassroots causes this winter.

BASIS

The Blind and Sight Impaired Society have recently set up a befriending scheme which matches volunteers with visually impaired people in the community in order for them to spend around an hour a week together helping with a multitude of activities. BASIS promotes independence and reduces isolation within the community for visually impaired adults and their families in South Essex.

Opening Doors London

Opening Doors London supports the older LGBT* community, helping them to live full, vibrant and respected lives free from loneliness, isolation, discrimination and prejudice. They are the biggest UK charity working with and for LGBT+ people over 50, and deliver activities, befriending, training and increasing LGBT+ visibility daily.

Home Start

Home-Start is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert support helping families with young children through their challenging times. They are there for parents when they need them the most - because childhood can’t wait.

Re-engage

Re-engage is dedicated to fighting loneliness in old age. We help those most vulnerable to loneliness: people aged 75+ who live alone. No older person should feel alone during these times. Re-engage are determined to help as many as possible.

Nilaari

Nilaari is a BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) led Mental Health service, delivering culturally appropriate counselling and therapies, social care support and advocacy, to BAME individuals and families across Bristol City and beyond. As a street level agency in the heart of the most ethnically diverse ward in Bristol, one of their key strengths is their local knowledge and understanding of diversity. They are specialists at working in culturally appropriate ways especially with those individuals often described as ‘hard to reach’. Nilaari’s services are available to ALL communities across Bristol.

Let’s Eat Together

Let’s Eat Together exists, on the one hand, to support the vision of superstores to reduce, by one half, the amount of food wasted in their stores, and on the other, to pass on good food to the elderly, vulnerable and needy individuals and families in our parish (Sighthill, Parkhead, the Calders and Sighthill industrial estate) and beyond. We are keen to use our church premises as a hub for sharing food in respectful ways, reducing waste, encouraging connection, and promoting a sense of communalism.
