THE POWER OF GIVING BACK; A PERSONAL REFLECTION. Volunteering is more than just a way to contribute to a cause; it's a transformative experience that deepens our understanding of community and compassion. Leading the Zero Hunger project with #Thementorandmenteeinitiative (MAMA INITIATIVE) was a profound reminder of how impactful even small acts of kindness can be. With just 50,000 naira, we were able to feed 100 individuals in Dawakin Kudu, making a tangible difference in their lives. This experience reinforced the idea that our efforts, however modest, have the power to create significant change. It also highlighted the importance of collective action and the strength we find in community support. Every act of giving back to the society whether through time, resources, or skills can spark positive change and inspire others to join the cause. How has your experience with volunteering or community service shaped your outlook? Let’s continue to inspire and uplift one another through our shared commitment to making the world a better place. #mamainitiative #Volunteering #CommunityImpact #SocialGood #Inspiration #GivingBack #Sdggoal2

Three things we hotly debated in the kitchen during my recent volunteering stint at The Choir with No Name : 🤔 Why do people put butter in their baked beans? What can we do to help them? 🥪 Are you supposed to butter the bread when they are making tuna mayo sandwiches? 🧈 If you are making beans on toast, should you butter toast? One thing that was not debated: 🥧 Homity Pie is delicious (here is the recipe – thank me later) https://lnkd.in/d3vb3P7N Choir with No Name is based at St Martins Church in The Bullring. They provide an opportunity for people have experienced homelessness to come together and sing, perform and enjoy a hot meal served by volunteers. Thank you to Sharon Blackwell for organising this as part of Gowling WLG Responsible Business Strategy, and to the fabulous team at Choir with No Name. If you are a corporate organisation that provides volunteering opportunities to your staff, did you know that this generates around £16/hour of social value benefit to the local community? #WestMidlands #CharityWork #Volunteering #Choir #CorporatePartnership #SkilledVolunteering #SocialValue #LocalValue
