📣 webinar alert 📣

Join us next Wednesday 1 December at 13.00 GMT via Zoom, for a one hour webinar on safeguarding practices for civil society organisations.

We'll be joined by representatives from the charities @healthprom & former BEARR grantee @ulicamira

They’ll give presentations on their organisations' safeguarding policies to help other CSOs create or hone their own. There will be a brief discussion after the presentations during which participants are invited to ask questions.

The event will be streamed in English and Russian simultaneously.

Follow the link in our bio for more details and to register.

We look forward to seeing lots of you next week!

The intrepid @bristol2beijing is back on the road for another 12 months of cycling towards China! 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Luke's currently making his way through #Pakistan via the Khunjerab Pass towards Islamabad before he crosses into northern #India. He’s continuing to raise money for charities which help young people living with cancer, he himself being a CanLiver, having been diagnosed aged 24.

He’s still fundraising for BEARR for this leg of his journey. Follow the link in our bio to learn more about his story and to donate!

💯 First 100 survey responses received! 💯

Thank you to all who have participated in BEARR's #survey already. We’re delighted to have received over 100 responses so far. Please help us spread the word further by sharing the survey on social media & with colleagues from other civil society organisations.

Your responses are extremely valuable and shed light on the reality for #CSOs during the #pandemic. We have been impressed to hear the ways in which organisations have adapted to the pandemic (including the use of technology, and the broadening of funding sources and services provided). However, we have also been alarmed by the overwhelming majority of respondents reporting burn-out among their employees, and the damaging effect of the pandemic on their organisation's finances.
This is amid a sharp rise in the need for CSO's services (over 80% of respondents have reported this).

The final findings from the survey will be published on our website, https://bearr.org/, in due course. We still hope to collect more responses and would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word!

You can complete the survey here or the link is in our bio:

Thank you very much for your help!

With warm wishes,
The BEARR Trust

💫📰🥳 You can now read two articles on BEAR

💫📰🥳 You can now read two articles on BEARR's history, written by our Information Officer, Louisa Long, to mark the organisation's 30th anniversary this year! 💫📰🥳

Follow the link in our bio to read the articles.

They’re based on interviews with the host of characters involved in BEARR’s work since 1991.

They tell the tale of BEARR's development as an organisation against the backdrop of the collapse of the Soviet Union & the turmoil that ensued. They also paint a picture of the wider flourishing of civil society organisations and health & social care systems during this period.

We hope you enjoy them!

The final instalment, covering the most recent decade, up to the present day, will feature in our December newsletter. Watch this space!
