Do you make gift aid charitable donations and pay higher rates of tax? If so, it is worth remembering that any donations made before 5 April will see you receive the benefit much sooner than ones made just after. So if you have someone that you've been meaning to sponsor, if you do this before 5 April you will see a reduction in your tax bill in January 2025, whereas if you make this payment on 6 April you won't see the benefit until January 2026. https://buff.ly/2MRNGo0 #SelfAssessment #Donations

Are you well connected in your local community or have a business that can help❓ If so, I would really appreciate your support. We have our Alfie's Wish Golf Day on 25th July 2024 and we are urgently seeking donations for raffle prizes to make this event a great success, as this is proving tough only a couple of months after our charity ball. Do you know anyone that can donate a prize? Perhaps a friend runs a business or your local could offer a voucher. Here's some ideas: * Golf-related items: Could you ask your Golf club to donate a round or some merchandise? * Dining Experiences: Vouchers for local restaurants or cafés. * Event Tickets: Concerts, sports events, theatre shows – do you have connections? * Hamper Baskets: Gourmet foods, wines, or spa products, sweets * Hotel Stays: Know any hotel owners? A weekend getaway is a fantastic prize! * Wellness Services: Spa treatments, yoga classes, personal training sessions. * Professional Services: Offer a free consultation or service from your business. * Food and drink vouchers: Gift certificates to local restaurants, cafes, or bars. * Gourmet gift baskets: Assorted chocolates, fine wines, or artisanal cheeses. * Cooking classes: Learn from a local chef or take an online culinary course. * Toys and games: LEGO sets, board games, or action figures. * Experience vouchers: Tickets to amusement parks, zoos, or trampoline parks. * Sports equipment: Bicycles, skateboards, or sports gear. * Tech gadgets: Tablets, gaming consoles, or VR headsets. All donations appreciated and every raffle prize brings us closer to supporting another child battling cancer. Please DM me or email events@alfieswish.org.uk if you can help! Your generosity would be really appreciated. #Charity #Fundraiser #GolfDay #CommunitySupport #ChildrenWithCancer #Donate #RafflePrizes #MakeADifference

💙 Time to Talk 💙 Talking about mental health isn’t easy but a conversation has the power to save lives. There should always be time to talk. Did you know 1 in 6 people in the UK report experiencing anxiety or depression each week. Here are some tips to consider when starting a conversation: 🔷 Ask open questions and really listen to the response 🔷 Have patience, it may take time and several conversations 🔷 Don’t try to fix or diagnose The more conversations we have around mental health the better. Support myself and the OneSource team as we do the Miles for Smiles challenge in February. Each of us will run, walk or cycle 30 miles in order to raise money for Mind. Our Go fund me page is linked below 💙 #timetotalk #milesforsmiles #conversations #mentalhealthawareness

Since joining Prosperity 24/7, I've come to realise that there's not much that brings us together like a good Love to Ride challenge. We managed to top our respective leaderboards in the recent May challenge, although Greener Kirkcaldy gave us an excellent run for our money. We got new people involved in the challenge, we saved an estimated 546lb CO2 through cycling instead of driving and as well as cheering on our usual stalwarts, I also discovered which colleagues will come through last thing on a Friday and undertake a round-the-island-cycle for the extra miles... Sure, winning is fun but what's really nice is to see the behaviour changes starting to take root in the segment of our company that aren't die-hard cyclists (and I include myself in that). Last September I noted that I'm a reluctant cyclist but I'm becoming less reluctant and more willing to do that commute by bicycle. I've also noticed our bike store becoming busier and less frequent cyclists populating the Love to Ride feed more often. That's no mean feat. As someone who deals with change while delivering projects, change isn't always easy to embed but I've always been a fan of gamification as motivation in the right settings. And one of those right settings will be Prosperity Day in September, when our colleagues and clients will compete for bragging rights but also for the much better reason of raising money for charity - this year, we're supporting Healing Waves UK and Jersey Hospice Care - two very deserving charities. So, if you want to do your part, why not sign up for or donate to the tenth Prosperity Day? https://lnkd.in/eFAaUGGf #Lovetoride #change #prosperityday #healingwaves #hospice #charity #cycling
