Personalised children’s brand My 1st Years is today announcing that with every product purchased, they will support Goods For Good and clothe a child in need. This pledge of generosity is significant and will impact the lives of the people we support.  

As Goods For Good celebrates a year since it launched its Humanitarian Aid Partnership, Founder Rosalind Bluestone MBE, reflects on the impact one of its founding partners, The Dune Group have had on the lives of the people we support.

ella Forums help charities and non-profits achieve more. This year they invited Founder of Goods for Good, Rosalind Bluestone, to be a guest speaker at their Annual Conference; Leading Change 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. 

Goods For Good staff and Board of Trustees are working in partnership with our charity partner HRIF to identify the needs of those affected by the catastrophic Türkiye-Syria earthquake. The death toll is currently reported to be 33,000 and expected to rise. Find our more about how you can support us.

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.

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.

In the face of adversity and geographical barriers, Goods For Good remains steadfast in our mission to reach those communities most in need, no matter how remote. In a year overshadowed by the pandemic, the importance of education and access to learning resources became even more critical.
