Pitchwestlondon.org – a new signposting and housing campaigning website

We are pleased to announce EHCVS has launched a new housing support and campaigning website www.pitchwestlondon.org   The website contains a huge amount of housing information relating to Ealing and Hounslow, as well as training videos and details of key housing contacts across the two boroughs.  The website has been developed to provide everything community groups and local residents need to campaign for better community housing. The main objective is to empower and support the voice of BAME and vulnerable groups in Ealing and Hounslow.  Key BAME community groups are currently being trained in advocacy and housing campaigning and will be featured on the site over the forthcoming months.  The website is very user friendly and has been designed to be used on a phone to ensure the website is of use to local residents as well as community groups.  This initiative is part of the EHCVS housing campaigning project funded by Trust For London.  For further information contact toby@ehcvs.org.uk

Giving Tuesday is a movement created as a response to the commercialisation and
consumerism on the lead up to the holiday season — and a chance for people to give back in
the season of goodwill. This year it falls on November 30th so now is the time to start planning –
especially in our current environment to maximise the benefit your organisation can get from Giving
Tuesday. Last year, the U.K. alone, over £20m was donated to good causes for Giving Tuesday, a
43% increase in giving from 2019 — that’s more than £14k every minute! #GivingTuesday is only
one piece of the annual fundraising pie which will need to evolve this year, so itÂ’s never too early to start
implementing your strategy. LetÂ’s walk through five ways to maximize your end-of-year fundraising
