Calvin, preaching Deuteronomy, notes that Proverbs 22:2 commands rich and poor to meet together — proximity being the mechanism by which help actually reaches people. God, apparently, considered physical nearness load-bearing. Today we prefer charitable giving at arm’s length: a click, a transfer, no eye contact. Very efficient. Entirely missing the point Calvin was making, but very efficient.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Spendenaktion für Ärzte ohne Grenzen im Sudan | Amalia Zeichnerin

From the Aloud newsletter:

"The Big Give Arts for Impact campaign is now live, and from now until midday on 24 March, every donation made to The Aloud Charity will be doubled through match
funding.

For the next seven days, every pound donated will go twice as far in supporting boys and young men across Wales through Only Boys Aloud.

Double your donation today

£10 becomes £20

£50 becomes £100

£100 becomes £200

Donate now:
https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS00000ADgA9YAL

Every donation helps more boys and young men find confidence, friendship and a place where they feel they belong. For many, Only Boys Aloud is the first time
they truly feel part of something positive and supportive.

Our goal this week is to raise £3,000 to grow the impact of Only Boys Aloud, enabling even more boys and young men to discover their voice, build resilience and feel part of a community that celebrates their potential.

Now is the moment

Because match funding is limited, donations made earlier in the campaign have the greatest chance of being doubled.

If you were planning to support Aloud, now is the moment to act.

Your support today will help ensure that more young people can experience the confidence, encouragement and life changing opportunities that being part of Only
Boys Aloud provides.

If donating isn’t possible right now, you can still make a difference by sharing this campaign with friends, family or colleagues who believe in supporting young people.

Every donation, every share and every act of support helps bring us closer to our goal.

Thank you for being part of the community that supports Aloud and the young people at the heart of our work.Together, we can double the difference.

With sincere thanks,

The Aloud Team"

Only Boys Aloud in south east Wales – Big Give

The Aloud Charity’s mission is to transform lives through the power of song. We are fundraising to support our transformational Only Boys Aloud programme of free choral initiatives for boys and young men in south east Wales, through which we sustain positive mental health and increased aspiration.…

Last but not least, stellen wir heute noch Oh Henry vor, die am 25.04.2026 bei unserem Konzert dabei sind!

Oh, Henry

Poppig und krachig, leise und laut, ehrlich und unbequem – stehen OH HENRY für Indie-Punk mit Haltung. Zwischen wütender Energie und melancholischem Nachhall erzählen ihre Songs von einer Gesellschaft im Dauerrausch, von politischer Gleichgültigkeit, vom Wunsch nach Veränderung und der Sehnsucht nach Echtheit in einer zunehmend künstlichen Welt.
