Minute Change
MEANINGFUL CHANGE CAN TAKE JUST A MINUTE
A small gesture of unexpected kindness is at the core of Minute Change. At times life can be difficult for us all – our aim is to help someone out at least once a month.
Why?
Small random acts of kindness often transform someones whole outlook on life and can have far reaching effects on families and society.
Minute Change encourages a culture of ‘pass it on’ in whatever way is possible and this can often be just a smile or your time – it can also become something more tangible.
It might be…
- a simple exchange of talents
- giving away something that you no longer have use for
- offering financial help
- becoming a Corporate Champion
Every act of kindness creates a ripple – Never underestimate the power of creating a ripple and who or where it reaches.
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across
the waters to create many ripples.”
Mother Teresa
Frequently Asked Questions
Our founder reads through the nominations each month and decides which person to help. The decision is approved by a small advisory group. We would love to be able to help as many people as possible and we hope our one act of kindness sparks a ripple effect that results in many more people being helped.
Everyone is free to nominate or to help. Nominations can come from frontline professionals, such as social workers, health workers, teachers etc. We also accept nominations from the public – you are free to nominate. We are put in a place of trust and we do not take it lightly. We verify the information / nominations we receive as much as possible, via checks, documentation and references, to make sure our supporters can have confidence in offering help.
100% of what you give to help someone will always go straight to that person. Our costs are covered by the generosity of others. We are currently looking for Corporate Champion Partners to cover administrative costs.
Minute change was set up in 2016 by one of the founders of Clare Haven Services and Haven Horizons, when she saw how help and support at the right time could make lasting and meaningful changes to the lives of women and children.
