We’re proud to support Bristol Dementia Action Alliance (BDAA), a fantastic organisation dedicated to improving the lives of people in Bristol affected by dementia. Through our funding, BDAA can further its mission to educate the community about dementia and provide welcoming activity groups for those living with dementia and their carers. This support will allow BDAA to run focus groups and pilot programs to better understand and meet the needs of those they support. Their memory cafés offer a relaxed space for people to gather, enjoy entertainment, and share conversations filled with music, movement, and memories. Thanks to this grant, BDAA can also explore new options, like a dedicated support space for carers while their loved ones engage in activities. This initiative helps create a supportive environment for all and opens the door for BDAA to collaborate with other organisations on activities that make a meaningful difference. Together, we’re making strides to support those impacted by dementia in Bristol.

#TuesdayThoughts: World Alzheimer's Day, observed annually on September 21st, serves as a global initiative to increase understanding and confront the stigma associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. This day is dedicated to focusing global attention on raising awareness of Alzheimer's disease. Philanthropic investment has the potential to significantly benefit individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease, as well as their families and caregivers. By supporting research, education, and initiatives to address this debilitating condition, philanthropy can be pivotal in promoting awareness and advancing care. It's inspiring to see how organizations and philanthropists are stepping up to magnify their influence and explore novel approaches to counteract the repercussions of the disease. #WorldAlzheimersDay #philanthropy #healthgiving #healthphilanthropy

One of the most meaningful achievements in my life, but I'm not done!! Please consider donating any amount to the advancements of #Alzheimer's and other dementia research and #caregiver support. Dementia is growing at an alarming rate and although we have made significant movement towards #EndAlz, there is so much more to do. Our loved ones need us to step up by donating, walking, or advocating with Alzheimer's Association® DM me if you are interested in forming a team for the SF Walk or if you want to educate your colleagues about the impact of Alzheimer's on our families in the workplace. - https://lnkd.in/giafvm8X

Shreyaa Venkat and Esha Venkat (She/Her) were inspired by their parents model of serving those in need, and founded the non-profit NEST4US, as a philanthropic platform built upon kindness, generosity, and social good. With the mission of making the world better through kindness by mobilizing volunteers worldwide to advance progress on societal issues and spark equitable solutions for the greater good. Their work has received significant recognition, including the George H.W. Bush Points of Light Award in 2020, which was co-chaired by all four living former presidents. Their year-end 2023 numbers include 7,000 volunteers, 85,000 blessing bags, and over $4.2M of meals donated across 30 countries and six continents. The good news is that you can be part of these numbers in the future. Your help is needed. Head over to www.NEST4US.org to learn how you can plug in to make a difference. The stats are impressive; what makes this nearly insane is this sibling effort started when they were ages 13 and 10. Shreyaa is now 22 years old, the CEO of NEST4US, and a Global Health accelerated master's student at Georgetown University. She is pursuing a career in health policy, combining her passions for health equity, climate advocacy, and volunteerism to aid marginalized communities worldwide. Esha is 19 years old, the COO of NEST4US, and is at Georgia Institute of Technology majoring in Public Policy with a minor in Global Development. Over the past decade, she has contributed over 7000 hours of service, engaging people through a wide array of global service campaigns. The sisters discuss the challenges they faced as young activists, the importance of asking questions, and their efforts to expand the nonprofit's impact both locally and globally. The conversation also touches on their personal development, the significance of self-care, and how community service has shaped their lives. Shreyaa and Esha emphasize the importance of involving young people in sustainable development and the power of simple acts of kindness. The episode encourages listeners to consider how they can make a difference in their communities and impact the world positively. Listen in for lots of questions!

Today is GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to generosity and community impact! While some may refer to this as “giving back,” I prefer to simply say “giving.” Because giving isn’t about making up for something—it’s about showing gratitude, empathy, and commitment to creating a better world. It’s about stepping up because we can and because we should. Last year, Giving Tuesday saw an incredible $3.1 billion donated worldwide, a powerful reminder of how impactful we are when we come together for causes that matter. From supporting education to advancing equity to funding vital healthcare initiatives, these contributions are shaping brighter futures. Today, U Krewers are donating their time at Kids In Distress (KID) and still have the chance to adopt one of 1500 children through our annual Angel Tree supporting nonprofits across the country such as The Wish Project, KID, Children's Harbor, Inc., Community Teamwork, and more! I’d love to know—who are you giving to today? Drop a comment to share the organizations or causes you’re championing this Giving Tuesday. Together, let’s inspire even more generosity! #GivingTuesday #DontGiveBackJustGive #UKGSocialImpact Brian Reaves Derek Valentine Sue Collard Nitcelle B.

Even the smallest act of kindness has a ripple effect that can lead to meaningful change for an individual or the transformation of an entire community, and I’ve been fortunate enough to see this first-hand. Today, on #GivingTuesday, people are coming together around the world to give back. Since its origins in 2012, GivingTuesday has generated a staggering $15 billion in day-of donations to U.S. non-profits alone. Globally, GivingTuesday has sparked even more in monetary contributions, volunteer hours, and community-led efforts. GivingTuesday, which demonstrates how acts of generosity result in enormous, positive change globally, has long been a grantee of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. For this year’s #GivingTuesday global day of giving, we’re proud to highlight three inspiring GivingTuesday leaders from around the globe who saw opportunities to address their communities’ needs, creating ripples of generosity and impact that will benefit their communities for generations to come. After winning a local government seat in her Bihar, India village of Tarari, Anjum Ara got involved with the Centre for Catalyzing Change (C3). This work inspired her to explore inequities within her community, and as a fellow through The Starling India Collective, she now works closely with local businesses to implement solutions for families lacking access to health education. When she was just eight years old, Khloe Thompson founded Khloe Kares as a way to provide resources to unhoused women in her Los Angeles community. Nine years later, she’s the founder of GivingTuesday SPARK, a youth-led movement dedicated to encouraging kids to make a difference around the world. Following the deaths of his mother, brother and aunt due to malaria, William Deng turned tragedy into action, creating Nyiroudit Health Clinic in his South Sudanese community to address the lack of healthcare facilities in rural communities. Today, he is the founder and CEO of Brother Deng, a nonprofit helping provide access to primary education, clean water and healthcare in South Sudan. This is just the start of the stories for these three extraordinary people. I hope you’ll dig in further so you can be as inspired as I am by how they’re each bringing about change in and beyond their communities. https://lnkd.in/egCC9NMk
