Don't you do wellbeing any more?
wellbeing
Wellbeing is where the formation of the company now called Lift all started.
Back in 2017, it was a Ted Talk from Jim Harter of Gallup which sparked the idea of created a consultancy that focussed on charity wellbeing. Having worked in professional fundraising for 19 years, Claire was already aware of some of the positive wellbeing impacts of a career in the charity sector. But unfortunately, she was also aware of many significant negative wellbeing impacts it has too. We knew this was happening, but struggled with communicating just how widespread some of the challenge were.
So, in 2018/19 we ran the UK's first piece of Fundraiser Wellbeing research, the Charity Well Research Project. In 2020, the headline results of that survey were carried in Fundraising Magazine.
Poor wellbeing isn't usually improved by focussing on wellbeing. It's improved by focussing on the causes of poor wellbeing
We've spent the time between 2018 and today, creating programmes, projects and personalised consultancy work that help to address the root-causes of some of the 'unwellbeing' the research uncovered.
Wellbeing informs and is the desired end result of all of the work we do.
Charity Well 2024
Charity Well 2024 Sponsors
We (just about) managed the 2018/19 project ourselves inhouse with no additional resource. And over 700 colleagues took part.
This time we're expecting four, if not five times that number of participants and we want to ensure we are kind and fair custodians of the experiences people share.
We're working to secure four sponsors for the 2024 project. They will be shared with you here once all four are confirmed
