Child Rescue Nepal – our new charitable partner

Paula Veysey Smith • 29 November 2018

At M:Power we are committed to helping charities during the course of the year and we are pleased to announce that our first charity partner is Child Rescue Nepal.


Please read a message from their Chief Executive, Jo Bega:


Child Rescue Nepal are one of the only in charities in Nepal who actively rescue children from slavery. We also prevent trafficking through raising awareness and prosecuting the perpetrators. We have rescued over 750 children, reuniting the majority with their families. We have also pursued the prosecution of 24 traffickers, helping jail 14 in Nepal and India.


Whilst rescuing children from slavery is an important part of our work, preventing children from being trafficked in the first place is far better for children, and more cost effective. Tragically, 80% of trafficking victims in Nepal have never enrolled in school. We work in the trafficking-prone district of Makwanpur, supporting over 40 community schools. We train teachers in child-centred methods, set up libraries, fund midday meals and provide educational bursaries for children whose families can’t afford the basics – such as uniforms, shoes and stationery. We also fund classrooms, taps and toilets.


We are delighted that M Power Accounting Services have selected Child Rescue Nepal as their charity partner, matching every donation to helping us to strengthen and support remote schools in Nepal. With your support, we can keep children safe in schools and out of the hands of traffickers.


As we come near to Christmas many of us will look to donate some money to charity; so in that spirit of goodwill I am please to confirm that M:Power Accounting will match any donations up to a value of £50 given by our clients as well as making a donation ourselves.


Please follow the link below to make a donation and then email us so that we can do our bit to support this worthwhile cause.

R is for Reward

by Paula Veysey-Smith • 8 July 2026
The finish line isn't just a destination. It's proof of everything you put in to get there. “Nothing feels so good as when you've succeeded at something you set out to do.” We made it. Seven letters, seven posts, and one very important journey. If you've been following this series from the beginning, you'll know that back in January we started with a goal — a triathlon in July. And as I write this, sitting in the garden with an iced coffee and a medal around my neck, I can tell you: it happened.  R is for Reward. And it might just be my favourite letter of the lot.

E is for Evaluate

by Paula Veysey-Smith • 8 July 2026
Setting a goal is just the beginning. What keeps it alive — and keeps you moving towards it — is what you do in between. “Evaluating what you're doing is so important. What worked, what didn't, what can I do better?” We're six letters into the SMARTER framework now. We've covered Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. Today we reach E for Evaluate — and I'll be honest with you, I think this might be the most important letter of the lot.

T is for Time-Bound

by Paula Veysey-Smith • 26 June 2026
A goal without a deadline is just a wish with good intentions. Here's why putting a date on it changes everything. “Having that end date is something that gives you the enthusiasm, the commitment, and the motivation to continue.” We're now on T in the SMARTER Goals series - and this one is beautifully simple. T stands for Time-Bound, or Targets. It means giving your goal an end date.

R is for Relevant

by Paula Veysey-Smith • 26 June 2026
Short-term goals are more powerful when they're built towards something bigger. Here’s why relevance is what keeps you going when motivation dips. “Goals that are shorter term in nature, but built to a bigger vision, are the most motivating that you can get” So far in this series we've looked at S for Specific, M for Measurable, and A for Achievable. Now we come to R for Relevant -- and this one is about making sure your goals are connected to something that genuinely matters to you.
