Kollabio, Inc.’s Post

Really good practical post from Andrew as always. Under the heading Practical Support : homelessness & biodiversity? I’m pleased to say that at Gresham Benevolent Fund we are supporting Crisis Changing Lives programme and personally I really like the fact that in the previous Parliament Crisis provided Secretariat services for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Homelessness. Hopefully it will do so again when the new Parliamentary term starts in early September. I was speaking with Connections at St Martins in the field. They said that the most requested items from their clients were mobile phones & laptops. These days once you have shelter; food ; medical support and the necessary IT skills you can with like mindeds set up your own Solo or Micro (1-11 employee) business or Social Enterprise with a mobile & access to a laptop and support from sympathetic Mentors like Andrew. There are 136,000 young (16-24 year old ) homeless that New Horizon are trying to help with a National Stratrgy plus an unknown number of hidden young underinvested. A real talent pool potentially. Update “ give a person a fish and they’ll eat for a day ; teach a person how to fish and they’ll eat for life”- ( which doesn’t really work these days when we poison our rivers and streams with effluent and the Midland Canals with a form of cyanide used in metal cleaning which kills the fishes🐟 !!) by giving the 136,000 phones and laptops and perhaps they could become our next generation of ….. ……Environmental Protectors.???!!! After all to be homeless in UK plc as Anthony says you have to be pretty streetwise. A task force of Name & Shame environmentalists protecting our “ Sceptrd Isle” might have a number of benefits. Whilst 32 wars rage around the globe causing massive environmental damage perhaps the Young Underinvested could be our eyes 👀 & ears 👂to ensure UK 🇬🇧 plc really does move towards Net Zero : not just “ wash ourselves in Green” After all .., “ there is no Planet 🌍 “B” T https://lnkd.in/eg33cJKh.

There's a profound sense of purpose and connection that comes from knowing that we've made a positive difference in someone else's life – a feeling that money can't buy and possessions can't replace. 🌈♥️🌟 So let's make a commitment to be the change we wish to see in the world, one act of kindness at a time.

My mission is to help women globally make positive change in their work. How I do that matters to me. It's why one of the first things I did was create a mission statement and set of values for The Success Coach. I care about people, as much as profit. I care about impact, as much as influence. I care my aligning my words and actions. This is why I've chosen to donate 5% of every sale to Irish mental health charities.

Today is Tourette’s awareness day, and those who know me will know how important it is for me to raise awareness about Tourette’s. It is a condition that is often misunderstood or not spoken about due to stigma, but impacts my family daily. Being a parent of child with Tourette’s has taught me so much about the condition and opened my eyes to the complex nature and impact it has on an individuals life. I was unaware of how painful Tourette’s could be, involuntary tics and repetitive movements on a daily basis are exhausting. Tourettes Action does fantastic work in raising awareness about the condition, and educating on the things that are often unknown, such as the pain associated with tics. Understanding, awareness and empathy all play a part in creating more inclusion for those with Tourette’s to thrive, and most importantly be seen for who they are, and not just by their tics. #TourettesAwarenessDay #Inclusion #TourettesHurts

The world could use a little more kindness these days. 🙏 In our fast-paced, often self-absorbed society, it's easy to get caught up in our own lives and challenges. But taking the time to be kind and lend a helping hand can make such a profound difference. A simple smile, a kind word, or a selfless act - no matter how small - has the power to brighten someone's day and spark a ripple effect of compassion. 🌊 Whether it's volunteering, donating to causes you care about, or just being there as a supportive listener, look for opportunities to be that light for others in need. Life can be incredibly difficult at times, but we're all in this together. Practicing empathy, lending a non-judgmental ear, and offering support where we can lift us all up. 💪 "Let's make Kindness the new normal" Video credits: HumanlikeBro X Account #KindnessMatters #SpreadLove #SelflessActs #HelpingHands #PayItForward #CompassionateLife #TogetherIsBetter #inspiration

Volunteer your time, donate to a cause, or just be there for a friend in need. 📍The World Needs More Love: In times of division and hardship, kindness and goodness can be the glue that holds us together. Let’s be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people. Your kindness and goodness are needed now more than ever. Let’s make the world a better place, one good deed at a time.

**Caption: One Small Help Can Change a Life Forever** In our fast-paced world, a single act of kindness can create ripples that change lives for the better. Whether it’s lending a hand to a neighbor in need, mentoring a young person, or simply listening to someone who feels unheard, small gestures have the power to inspire hope and transformation. Imagine the impact of donating time or resources to a local charity, assisting the elderly, or offering support to a struggling friend. These seemingly minor actions can lead to profound changes in someone’s life, igniting their potential and lighting the path forward. The beauty of helping others lies in its ability to foster a sense of community and connection. When we take the time to support one another, we not only uplift those around us but also enrich our own lives. In a world that sometimes feels disconnected, let’s remember the power we hold to make a difference. A small, thoughtful action can be the catalyst for someone’s triumph, shifting their perspective and opening doors they never thought possible. Let’s choose kindness today—your little effort could be the turning point in someone’s journey! #KindnessMatters #SmallActsBigImpact #ChangeALife #CommunitySupport #EmpathyInAction #Inspiration #MakeADifference #Hope #TogetherWeRise #RandomActsofKindness #Follow
