Simon Mould, a friend of Plum Communications, is hoping to raise £2,000 for the MS Trust by kayaking 100 miles in the sea off Cork over a weekend at the start of September. The MS Trust is a charity which works with and for the 85,000 people in the UK with multiple sclerosis, to help them live their lives to the full, providing relevant information, support, education and research. We’ll let Simon explain what he’s doing:
“I am raising money for the MS Trust by kayaking 100 miles in the sea off Cork over a long weekend at the beginning of September. The date is a little bit weather dependent - don't want to pin myself down to a date and then drown in a storm. I would be very grateful if you would support me by sponsoring me - any amount however small will do just fine. I won't be publishing league tables, just give what you can and try not to be tight.”
Simon has so far raised £411 out of his desired £2,000. If you would like to sponsor Simon please feel free to visit his JustGiving fundraising page below…every penny counts!!!

Charities urged to give regional branches a bigger say in decision-making
Research by the Institute for Public Policy Research has suggested that charities need to have a bigger say in policy at a regional level. The study showed that 80% of charity leaders thought decision-making at a regional level was important. However, 60% admitted that the voluntary sector's voice in policy in those areas was "not very well established". The research was unveiled at an Acevo (Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations) conference in York yesterday. Katie Schmuecker of IPPR North has said that, “Given the backdrop of the recession, it is more important than ever for economic development plans to support deprived areas as well as areas of opportunity. The voluntary and community sector has much to contribute in this respect."
Plum Communications are happy to work with charities at any level as they deem appropriate, with the aim of providing effective communications at an affordable price.
