Positive Change – Turning things around for charities

Remember in an earlier article we looked at the fact that in achieving goals, you always need to focus on what you want (rather than what you don't want). I used the charity 'Make Poverty History' as an example saying it should be called something like 'Make Abundance Now' or something similar. One thing that came from the responses to that article was that we all have a different opinion on what the opposite of 'poverty' is.

Could we do the same to other charities to help them achieve their real goals? The point here is that these are suggestions that might help. I am not declaring war on charities. The aim of all charities should be to fix whatever problem they are focusing on so that they are no longer needed (I would have thought). So here are a few ideas that might help. Some clearly aren't as catchy, but others have such a positive vibe I can't believe no-ones suggested them before. (Thanks to Jem Renals for the best ones). You can add you own here.

Healthy Working Animals for the World’s Poorest People = Healthy Working Animals for the World

Anti-Nazi League = Pro-Tolerance League

Women Against Violence Against Women = Women For Respect For Women

RSPCA = Royal Society for the Promotion of Kindness to Animals

NSPCC = Royal Society for the Promotion of Kindness to Children

Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) = Royal Society for the Assurance of Safety (RoSAS)

Breast Cancer Research = Breast Wellness Research

Oxfam = Oxfed

Children in Need = Children in Joy

Got any better ones?
