HELP SHARE

What HELP SHARE does

Give. Help. Share. is a UK Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Registered Charity No: 1193872) founded in November 2020 by former teachers Amanda Barbanel and Jacqueline Harris, operating across Hertfordshire and North London with a team of 1-10 (two co-founders, trustees, and educators). The charity runs three integrated service pillars: GIVE (weekly distribution of nutritious food parcels to 30 schools reaching 2,000+ families monthly), HELP (crisis support including refugee assistance and international emergency aid), and SHARE (food and nutrition education workshops for primary-aged children). Operations are community-led, with food delivered via a school-distribution network and corporate teams participating in paid volunteering days that pack 200+ parcels per session.

The underlying technology stack is minimal: the charity uses a Wix-hosted website (givehelpshare.org.uk), Instagram, LinkedIn, and the CAF Donate platform for processing individual donations. There is no proprietary software, no API surface, and no AI/ML capability; the core 'technology' is the operational logistics of weekly parcel packing and school-based last-mile distribution. Awards (Prime Minister's Point of Light 2023, British Nutrition Foundation Drummond Community Award 2022) provide third-party validation but no technical moat.

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable inflows: individual donations via CAF Donate, in-kind food donations from corporate partners, and paid corporate volunteering days that double as team-building events and a revenue stream. The business model is subsidy-driven and dependent on discretionary donor activity and corporate ESG budgets, with no commercial pricing, no contracts, and no disclosed financials. Customer segments are dual-sided: beneficiary families (via schools) on the impact side and corporate ESG buyers on the funding side.
