charitable work

Join me for an incredible conversation with the legendary Ted Carroll as we journey through his 60 plus-year music career. From his start in the early 50s, listening to jazz and discovering Rock and Roll, to managing the band Skid Row, which included the talented Gary Moore, Ted's experiences in the music industry are nothing short of fascinating. Listen in as we reflect on the success of the bands he's worked with, and learn how he began booking gigs for English and Irish bands in the summer of 1968.

Ted shares the story of Thin Lizzy's early days and the impact that Slade's tour had on their development – We hear how Lizzy's hit 'The Rocker' included the lyric "Rock on Stall," which was inspired by Ted's own record store. We also discuss the decision that led to Gary Moore's departure from the band and how Ted eventually made the choice to launch Chiswick  Records. Ted's keen eye for talent is evident in the bands he's discovered and helped, including Motorhead and Sniff 'n' the Tears.

Finally, Ted opens up about his passion for music and how it led him to open his new Rock On Records in Stamford, using it as a platform to make people aware of great music. We also discuss his charitable work, selling memorabilia from bands like the Sex Pistols and the Clash to raise money for charity. Ted's story is an inspiring example of combining his hobbies and mission to make a difference in the world. Don't miss this captivating episode with the one and only Ted Carroll!

(November 5, 2022) We have privilege today to welcome Father Anthony Swamy, who served in our parish for several years. Father Swamy is now in India and serves the Church and the poorest of the poor through his work in the Order of Missionaries of Saint Francis de Sales. Father is quick to joke but also serious and compassionate when describing the charitable work he and his brethren do in India.

Today, businesses face increased scrutiny of their values and community engagement — from potential employees and investors, the public, and current stakeholders. From corporate volunteerism to community support, foundations, investment and more, leaders are asking and strategizing around a critical question: How can a company ensure its social, charitable or community work matches well with its business purpose?

Eve Solomons, the winner of Mrs Johannesburg - South Africa, talks to us about her life story. Why would someone want to become a Mrs....  Pageant?  What inspires a mother and wife to enter the Mrs Johannesburg and win! Eve Speaks with a smile on her face throughout the conversation.

[30m04s] How Salt & Light adapted and developed a more flexible format during the pandemic 

While teaching yoga at Illinois’ Cook County Jail, Dr. Izabel Olson discovered a startling insight: over 70% of female inmates had been victims of trafficking. And when she looked around at the resources available in the Chicago area to trafficking victims, she found that there was a substantial gap in programs that offered rehabilitative services. Shortly afterward, she embarked on founding Salt & Light Coalition to fill the need.

In her talk with Jesse, Dr. Olson describes how she came to understand the conditions that enable trafficking in part through the lens of her own lived experience; how she built Salt & Light on the cultural foundations of empathy and non-judgment; the profound effect that Salt & Light has had on the lives of its graduates; and lessons learned from trying to keep the coalition’s critical support network open and available during the pandemic. Izabel’s story is an inspiring journey of love and understanding and a powerful reminder to build toward our life’s purpose with both an open mind and open heart.

The famous Massey Foundation (established in 1896) was the first charitable trust of its kind in Canada. It is often referred to as the first charity in Canada, but it would be a mistake to think this is where charity in Canada started.

This week, host Nick Bridges is joined by Know History’s Sara Wilmshurst. With her unique background in fundraising management, Sara is the perfect person to guide us through the history of charity in Canada.

How did British common law influence our definition of charity?  What effect did World War I have on charities in Canadian culture? What led to our ability to write off charitable donation on our taxes? And, what in the world is The Federation Fundraising Movement?

For these answers and more, join Nick and Sara as they notice the history of charity in Canada.
