Simply put, the original concept of Giving Plus was The Bread Tin. It's purpose was to
engage and organise young London City professionals into small giving
circles. 10 young men and women would join a
group, and decide upon a charitable theme (such as
homelessness, for example) which they would research,
and agree together on a charity that they would sponsor.
Each participant would give £1,000, and the final amount
would be match-funded by an individual philanthropist,
and the combined sum given to that charity. The idea was
to instil in these young professionals the value of giving to
charity, a value which would ideally last a lifetime as their
careers progressed.
"It taught me the importance of organisation, preparation and sensitivity [whilst] the process has made me much more aware of the positive impact that I can make with my disposable income.”
"It was immensely satisfying to see the big difference you can make, just getting together and putting aside a small sum each month. I didn’t know giving could be so satisfying!"
“I can think of nowhere else I could have had conversations about these kinds of issues that matter.”
The Evolution
We are currently testing our new model, which incorporates co-production. Groups will work with beneficiary charities in a hands-on approach to develop solutions to social issues.
Virtual & In Person Roundtable
'Co-production means delivering public (or charitable) services in an equal and reciprocal relationship between professionals, people using services, their families and their neighbours. Where activities are co-produced in this way, both services and neighbourhoods become far more effective agents of change.’
