Dear Sobus Community,
My name is Zoltan, I’m a Social Entrepreneur and the Founder at ECHO an innovative online movement, and I am here to shake things up in the non-profit sector.
I’m currently mapping out charities in London, and I am looking for potential partners to collaborate with.
The main reason for that because we sadly realised there is an injustice in the UK charity sector where the largest 1.2% of charities in the UK receive 70% of the donations. Medium and small-sized charities have no chance to keep up with the marketing battle for publicity.
Have you ever experienced that too? I bet you have.
Our aim is not only to help you raising money but to reach out for the wider public by introducing them your goals, achievements, dedication and passion.
Did you know, that
– by 2019, global consumer Internet video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer Internet traffic?
– YouTube reports mobile video consumption rises 100% every year.
Incredible numbers, aren’t they?
Also, current donation systems are outdated, and they don’t allow the engagement, the transparent communication and the satisfaction people expect from non-profits.
That is why we are launching a whole new cycle of crowd-accelerated innovation, called ECHO.
We believe the word needs to be spread through cinematic short stories where donors can interact with you in person and share your story with the rest of the world to invite them on an educative journey and mobilise them to become actively involved.
These viral videos would provide you and the cause you fight for a well-deserved visibility in a way that all the participants could greatly benefit.
Oh, and it wouldn’t cost you a penny as ECHO is established to support small and medium-sized charities like yours.
It is pretty much a no-brainer, isn’t it?

Want to get involved?
If so, we would like your help! The Cancer Screening and Prevention Research Group (CSPRG) at Imperial College London are looking for individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds to become Public Patient Representatives for their new research project called FIT for Screening.
This year, the NHS English Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) is introducing a new bowel cancer screening test called FIT (faecal immunochemical test) to all men and women aged 60 years and over. FIT detects blood hidden in stool, and currently no evidence or research exists that indicates the ‘ideal’ level which the BCSP should use, to indicate a positive result and detect as many bowel cancers as possible. The FIT for Screening study aims to look into this further. Imperial would like to research what this ideal level should be and would like members of the public to help them shape their research proposal and plan.
The Public Patient Representative role is initially for 1 year and will be reviewed annually. The role involves reading about the study and a simple summary and providing us your thoughts on our research plans. You will need access to a computer and email to receive these documents. You will also be required to attend two half-day workshops at the CSPRG office and participate in activities and discussions with other patient/public representatives. The CSPRG is based at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.
You will be reimbursed for your time and reasonable travel expenses throughout the duration of your involvement. Payment for reviewing documents will range from £50 – £200 depending on the length of the document. For attending workshops and completing shorter study activities, payment will range from £25 – £150.
Please note, this role does not require any previous experience in public/patient involvement or clinical research. You will be supported and trained on all aspects of the study, with a member of the CSPRG team appointed as a point of contact at all times.
