Goods For Good is thrilled to announce the appointment of Graham Heddle as our new Chair to the Board of Trustees. This appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the organisation as we celebrate a decade of impactful service and growth.

Two years on, the urgency of the situation in Ukraine cannot be understated. As the world marks the somber anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine,  it's crucial to acknowledge that the plight of Ukrainians remains as dire today as it was when the conflict escalated two years ago. The stark reality is that the crisis in Ukraine is far from over. Lives continue to be upended, communities shattered, and futures remain uncertain.

In a time where environmental sustainability is paramount, Goods For Good volunteer, Howard Skolnick has emerged as an innovator and change-maker, championing solutions to combat waste and preserve our planet. Together with Goods For Good, Howard has spearheaded a transformative approach to waste management and sustainability. Today, we celebrate Howard's remarkable achievement as he receives an award for his contributions to waste reduction.

Goods For Good is on a mission to bring together businesses and communities, with a sustainable focus on people and the planet. Our commitment is to bring together a collective effort under the banner of recycling, repurposing, and reducing waste—for good! As we celebrate our 10th year, we are taking a bold step forward by shining a spotlight on the pressing issues of our time,  in an effort to combat climate change and protect our planet for future generations.

Life without a stable home brings immense and intricate challenges to maintaining good mental health, and whilst the challenges faced by those affected by homelessness and displacement are often too vast for us to comprehend, the individuals, children and families in these situations need support, understanding, and compassion.  

Goods For Good is delighted to announce that, for the second consecutive year, we are the recipients of support from Aviva’s Community Fund. This partnership brings an incredible opportunity to amplify the impact of our Twelve Gifts of Kindness Winter Appeal throughout the month of December.

We believe that in someone's hour of need, your support can be the most powerful force for positive change. While this Winter we continue our commitment to delivering everyday essentials such as nappies, period products, toiletries, warm coats, and clothing, our #TwelveGiftOfKindness Winter Appeal introduces the gifts that go beyond the material.  When you donate £10 you’re not just helping us deliver a 'gift for good' containing crucial items such as blankets, bedding, and essential clothing and footwear, you’re also delivering an invaluable gift for those who need it most, providing comfort, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the international community gathers for COP28 we're calling for a renewed focus on sustainable humanitarian practices. We want to transform the narrative beyond COP28 and create a legacy that benefits both people and the planet.
