GO4 needs your support!

GO4 relies on trading activities for 85% of its income, That means this year we need to raise around £30,000 from donations, grants and share issues. If you would like to help us to continue our work with vulnerable unemployed people you can do so in one or more of these ways:

  1. Make a donation – although we can’t reclaim Gift Aid every penny you donate goes towards helping vulnerable individuals gain access to work experience, training, mentoring support and employment.
  2. Buy shares – every share purchase (£50 each ordinary share) is an investment in the lives and futures of vulnerable people. If you have significant funds to invest then talk to us about Social Investment Tax Relief – you can get 30% tax relief in the first year on your investment.
  3. Buy food and drink at our Cafe – every purchase helps us increase our turnover, lessens our dependence on grants and helps us to become more sustainable.
  4. Buy from the Market traders – although they are independent traders, by helping them you help us as they pay rent to us and they need to be profitable to be able to continue in business. Customers of the market also become customers of our cafe. They are also very nice people and very supportive of our mission!

2014/15 has been a difficult year for us and we need your continued support. Please get in touch via our contact page if you would like more information.

Our RBS SE100 Index Ranking has gone up!

RBS SE100 Index

Our ranking on the RBS SE100 Index has improved! We have seen a rise in our ranking across the board with a move up one place overall (from 24 to 23), a similar rise to second place in the regional ranking (we are now ranked 2nd in the Eastern region) and a rise to 4th place in the Employment and Training category.

This is great news and shows that we are an organisation that is on the up and up! An indication of that is that today also sees the addition of a new member to our team. Peter Ling joins us as the Garden Services Manager and he will be responsible for not only managing the existing team and the services its provides but also building on that solid foundation to add new services. Eventually we plan to expand the current team so that we will  have two teams so we can operate more effectively across the large geographical areas we cover, and crucially, provide more opportunities for unemployed people to receive training, work experience and eventually gain employment.

Don’t forget, if you’d like to support our work you can donate at https://go4enterprises.believe.in/donate/ where you can slo start your own fundraiser on our behalf – ideal if you wish to gte sponsored for that abseil down some tall building or cycling form Lands End to John O’Groats!

You can also purchase shares in GO4 at £50 each. If you wish to make a large investment why not talk to us about Social Investment Tax Relief (invest for 3 years and get 30% tax relief).
