In Kind Direct

If this name means nothing to you...READ ON!

In Kind Direct is a charity which redistributes surplus goods from manufacturers and retailers to UK charities working at home and abroad.

This means charities can benefit by buying goods at greatly reduced prices, which has got to be music to everyones ears during these financially testing times.

There are a wide range of products available; toys, if you are a charity that works with children, work and office items which we all need, sports equipment, household goods and much more. Delivery is usually within 10 days and the customer service is very good.

It's FREE to register, but be sure to read the terms and conditions. Have a look yourself and let me know whether it has helped your organisation. It certainly works for us.

Are you "Highly Effective"?

I came across a book called "the 7 habits of highly effective people" written by Stephen R. Covey back in 1989.

I'm not a great fan of self-help books, but this one is pretty inspirational.

I have attached the synopsis from Wikepedia to give you a flavour of what it is all about. (The benefit of finding older, useful publications is that you can get them for a song on Amazon etc.)
