Humans in the Extreme is the new book from Hertfordshire based author and psychotherapist, JA Hind. The book, which was released earlier this month, has its official launch is this evening. Jane is kindly donating all proceeds of the book to Goods For Good.

As the death toll passes 35,000, and as hundreds of lorries stacked up at the Turkish borders, without the correct permissions to enter with aid, Goods For Good filled a flight, donated by Virgin Atlantic, with 64 pallets of clothing and other essential aid  to send vital aid to the victims of the Türkiye-Syria earthquake. 

Insurance company Aviva, luxury department store Harrods, footwear brand Dune London, clothing apparel company UNIQLO and sport and footwear brand Nike, are amongst those organisations working with Goods For Good donating money, services and overstocked goods. Their support means life-changing essentials will reach families in need in some of the world’s most vulnerable places such as Ukraine, the Middle East, Nigeria and Moldova.

Founder and CEO Rosalind Bluestone has been awarded an MBE by King Charles in recognition for her outstanding service and contribution to vulnerable communities around the world.

On Wednesday 8th June 2022, we were delighted to welcome a delegation from global clothing apparel company, UNIQLO to our Head Office in Watford, Hertfordshire.   It was a chance to thank our Aid Partner for the support they have given us over the last five years.

The COVID-19 pandemic, cost of living and energy crisis and the war in Ukraine has caused many more families to slip into poverty. As a result we have seen our network of charity partners grow by 100% as we work hard to respond to the huge increase in need over the last two years. As the need in the community continues to grow, we have launched our Humanitarian Aid Partnership; an opportunity for corporate organisations, businesses of any size and individuals to collaborate with the charity; either by donating goods, donating funds or fundraising.

Thanks to funding from Sport England's Tackling Inequalities Fund, we are delighted to welcome Andrew Anastasiou to the team. Andrew joins the team as Programme Manager for our Sport For Good initiative and will be leading the design and development of the programme to provide aid to the most needy groups.

In a collaborative effort with The Big Heart Edit, a series of eight Instagram auctions has been conducted to raise funds for vulnerable communities both in the UK and abroad. The primary goal of these auctions is to promote purposeful shopping. We are delighted to announce that, thanks to the generosity of curators, donors and supporters that a substantial £25,000 has been raised to help support our work.

Sports programs can create stable and inclusive communities and have the power to create a significant social impact on individuals and communities alike. Working with organisations who support vulnerable communities we have recently launched the pilot of our Sports For Good initiative which will deliver sports kit and footwear, so those people in need so they have the means to access services and support networks available to them.
