Hierbij kun je denken aan mensen die op basis van hun leeftijd, opleiding, sociale afkomst, alternatieve levensstijl, etnische herkomst of seksuele oriëntatie uitgesloten worden van een voor hen volwaardige deelname aan de samenleving. Geluk en gezondheid Initiatieven gericht op een positieve verandering van geluk en gezondheid van mens en dier. Speerpunten hierbij zijn de zorg voor de mentale gezondheid van jongeren en jongvolwassenen, het vormgeven en ontwikkelen van cultureel ondernemerschap en het terugdringen van vlees- en zuivelconsumptie door het stimuleren van plantaardig eten. Empowerment and social inclusion Initiatives aimed at strengthening marginalized, vulnerable, or excluded individuals and groups socially and economically. This can refer to people who are excluded from full participation in society based on their age, education, social background, alternative lifestyle, ethnic origin, or sexual orientation. Happiness and health Initiatives aimed at bringing about a positive change in the happiness and health of humans and animals. Key priorities include caring for the mental health of young people and young adults, shaping and developing cultural entrepreneurship, and reducing meat and dairy consumption by promoting plant-based eating.

Onze oprichter Sjoerd Zijlstra organiseert ook dit jaar The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in Groningen. Een belangrijk moment om aandacht te vragen voor prostaatkanker en de mentale gezondheid van mannen. Als NoorderImpact dragen we graag bij aan dit goede initiatief!
SUPPORT ME ON MY RIDE FOR MEN'S HEALTH - https://lnkd.in/egGfGPUj Zondag 19 mei rijd ik samen met duizenden liefhebbers van karakteristieke motoren de Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. Dit doen wij om aandacht te vragen voor prostaatkanker en de mentale gezondheid van mannen. Zelfmoord onder mannen is een groot probleem. En ook prostaatkanker zorgt te vaak voor een vroegtijdig overlijden. Helaas kennen we de voorbeelden maar al te goed. Ik ook. Daarom vragen wij behalve om aandacht, ook om geld. Met dat geld wordt onderzoek gedaan naar prostaatkanker en worden programma’s ontwikkeld om zelfdoding onder mannen terug te dringen. Zie ook www.gentlemansride.com Je kunt mij hierin ondersteunen door naar https://lnkd.in/egGfGPUj te gaan en te doneren. Many thanks! On Sunday, May 19th, I'll be riding alongside thousands of enthusiasts of characteristic motorcycles in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. We do this to raise awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health. Suicide among men is a significant issue. Additionally, prostate cancer too often leads to premature death. Unfortunately, we know the examples all too well. Me too. That's why, besides asking for attention, we also ask for donations. This money will support research on prostate cancer and the development of programs to reduce suicide among men. See also www.gentlemansride.com. You can support me in this by going to https://lnkd.in/egGfGPUj and donating. Many thanks! #DGR2024 #DGR #gentlemansride #distinguishedgentlemansride #mentalhealth #prostatecancer #caferacer #ridedapper #movember #triumph #triumphgroningen #Groningen The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
