Give A Brick

Thinking of hosting a dinner

Using this website makes it easy. You can automatically send email invitations to your dinner guests. They can accept and donate here. You can all see who's coming and how much the dinner has raised.

Our mission is to inspire, empower and enable individuals to show love to other people in their community.

Why? Everyone needs to be loved and, more importantly, to feel loved. We all deserve to be respected and valued. And in an ideal world, a person’s first experience of that should be within the micro-community known as ‘family’.

That’s great and all but we don’t live in an ideal world. It doesn’t always work like it ‘should’.

Young people feel threatened and self-conscious. Parents get stressed out (or copy poor models from their own parents) leaving their children feeling like they don’t the time and love they need from mum and dad. Older people feel alone, lonely and vulnerable. They remember the ‘good old days’ but find it so hard to smile any more. People are living in poverty or, despite working hard, find themselves struggling to just make ends meet. Money is a massive motivator of stress and arguments for couples. Think of the strain that puts on the whole family.

We all need love and empathy and kindness.

Here at Give A Brick we believe that charity doesn’t have to cost the earth. We don’t believe in spending 50% of your money on attracting new donors. That’s a waste of our time and your money! There has to be a better model.
