🌍 Giving for Wellbeing: Empowering Minds, Transforming Lives 💚 In the lead-up to World Mental Health Day on October 10th, we’re shining a light on the powerful connection between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and wellbeing. 🌟 When organisations invest in giving back to their communities, they’re not only creating positive social impact but also fostering a culture of wellbeing within their teams. Helping others boosts morale, strengthens connections, and enhances mental health. 🥰 This October, let’s focus on how team-building activities can bring CSR to life, promoting a healthy balance of giving and receiving, both for people and the planet. 🌱 Catalyst Global offers a range of CSR-focused team-building programs designed to boost wellbeing while making a difference in the world. Some of our most popular CSR programs: 🚴 Building a Dream - Teams use their communication, team dynamics, and project management skills to build bikes for charity. 🧸 Toy Factory - Teams identify components, take on roles, and form production lines that produce toys for charity. ⛳ Hole in One - Teams design and build golf courses from donated food. After the event, the food will be donated to the local charity of your choice. 📱 Go Give - Teams use tablets and the Go Team app to review checkpoints and special fundraising projects. ♻️ Rags to Riches - A feel-good team-building activity that provides an engaging platform for participants to give back while recycling unwanted items. 👉 All programs are available online through our Catalyst Network. Get your team involved and contact your local representative today to explore how we can make a positive impact together! https://lnkd.in/dnXnMyM B1G1 #CatalystGlobal #CatalystNetwork #B1G1 #WorldMentalHealthDay #CSRforWellbeing #GivingForWellbeing #TeamBuildingForGood #TeamBuilding @

I believe in the power of community engagement and wellness. Being part of this project has been so inspiring with the immense dedication, efforts, small miracles, and sheer enthusiasm for a shared goal within my community. Part of my value & goal system is being a well rounded human, not being solely defined by one of my characteristics labels (lab, mom, wife etc.). We are defined by more than just our “9-5”. An inability to balance out these realities is when we see “dis”ease creep in, depression, anxiety, and issues with wellness. Humans intrinsically want to be more than just their job. A little plug, if you’re local and are interested in volunteering, check out the link below. For those who are not, consider in your wellness plans how you are not only doing the fun wellness activities at work that are important for team building, but also what are you doing to allow people to be a more full representation of themselves outside of work. https://lnkd.in/gVhtNQQs https://lnkd.in/gYfFvPPP

I'm Denise and together with my fellow trustees, I am founding a charity that will ensure a holistic approach to wellbeing is available to all, no matter their  socio-economic status!  The foundation’s primary concern is ‘To support people living with mental, emotional, physical and overall welfare challenges’   The aim is to empower people with easy to understand and apply wellbeing practices.  We are looking for support to ensure we can: o  Deliver pro-active resources to the Foundation’s beneficiaries o  Achieve fund-raising – ensuring the charitable purpose can be achieved. We will do this by pulling together a community of amazing health practitioners who can make a bigger difference through their combined skillsets and resources. The foundation’s trustees believe that when implemented correctly and with the support of trained and qualified professionals, wellbeing can become an integral, indispensable part of everybody’s lives. Wellbeing practices help people achieve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance ensuring they are equipped to positively manage life’s challenges. To make it happen – we need to build a community! Would you like to be part of a community that can help people ‘Choose to LIVE and not just exist’? To fully embrace life with a positive, balanced perspective.  Living life through a calm, focused and happy approach. We are looking for people working within all areas of the wellness sector who are happy to donate/contribute to the Foundation's work. Anything from a three minute video upwards. There are no limits to the number of contributions we would like to receive. The Foundation will always need more; classes, talks, workshops, and motivational speakers, keeping content fresh and current for its donors and the Foundation’s beneficiaries. We will work with a community of practitioners whose outlook, ethics, values and beliefs align with the primary concern of the foundation and would like to be a part of something bigger than any of us are individually, having a positive human impact that supports the lives of others. If you'd like to consider getting involved, join a community that helps the Foundations beneficiaries and the wider community, then the next step will be a chat with me. Please get in touch: (Please share this post with your network and anybody in the wellbeing sector you feel may be interested in supporting the Foundation's work). #wellnesssector #payitforward #mentalhealth

New Benevity report reveals how volunteering soared across companies in the last three years, with a 57% year-over-year increase in global employee participation. "We know that workers who are engaged in company social impact programs are less likely to leave their companies, and a recent study showed that among corporate wellness programs, participation in charity or volunteer work stands out as one of the few interventions that leads to improved well-being,” said Sona Khosla, Benevity’s Chief Impact Officer. https://lnkd.in/ekgJvdh7 #employeeengagement #socialimpact #community

Volunteering and giving back to the community are values that have always been important to me. It's great to see that data now supports the benefits of connecting with community services. Unfortunately, many companies get caught up in their own worlds and forget about the positive impact they can have by supporting local organizations. Giving back isn't just good for the community; it's also good for our mental health. #volunteering #communityimpact #corporatesocialresponsibility

Giving more is a fundamental aspect of creating a positive impact in both personal and professional spheres. It reflects a commitment to contributing beyond the minimum required, fostering a culture of generosity and compassion. In personal relationships, giving more can strengthen bonds, build trust, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued. In professional settings, giving more can mean exceeding job expectations, helping colleagues, and contributing to a positive workplace culture. This proactive attitude enhances personal growth and promotes a collaborative team. Employers who invest in their employees' development often see increased productivity and loyalty in return. On a broader scale, giving more extends to community involvement and social responsibility. Volunteering, donating, and participating in community initiatives make a significant difference, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Embodying a mindset of abundance leads to a more connected and compassionate world. #GivingBack #ProfessionalDevelopment #CommunityInvolvement #PositiveImpact
