If you aren't able to make it, any donation no matter how small would be greatly appreciated! In the words of Hospitality Action themselves, this is how they may be able to help you or a loved one in the future...

Serious illness, mental health issues, financial difficulties, family problems or addiction: Whatever challenges you might face, Hospitality Action is here to get you back on your feet!"

Did you know the act of engaging with charitable causes can help create more inclusive and resilient societies? Coming together to support those in need can boost mental health and create a real sense of social bonding between colleagues from different teams. It can also help to break down social stigmas, and support health and wellbeing. That's why every year we partner with a different charity nominated by colleagues across HES. We're currently partnering with Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). As today is the UN #InternationalDayOfCharity, here are some insights from Wellbeing and Engagement Partner Hannah on how to set up a charity partnership at your organisation. https://lnkd.in/e8zVdPqt

Interesting article in Third Force News about charities operating at capacity and the challenges of rising operating costs. The Oxygen Works is currently facing the longest waiting list we have had in my 8 year tenure. While in some jobs, I would have welcomed this kind of demand, where this impacts people who are looking for support to manage their health and wellbeing, this sits very uncomfortably with us as a team. While there is some level of comfort in recognising that the challenges we face are not unique, overcoming this issue will require system change. Sustaining a business that offers transformational physical and mental health support to its community with limited resources and limited options to grow capacity due to rising costs to deliver, increased demand and lower income and greater competition for donations and grants generally is a huge challenge for everyone operating in the sector. While I am proud to work in the Third Sector, I am increasingly realising that we should be referred to as the essential sector. #theoxygenworks #nowbreathe #tfn #essentialsector #scottishcharity #support

When buying a home, it's important to also think about your future. Consider rooms that can transition into home offices or nurseries, ensuring your space evolves with your life. Factor in bedrooms and overall layout to accommodate potential family changes. Finally, consider the neighborhood, like schools, parks, and local amenities.

Why do businesses walk with us? We reviewed our 2023- 2024 feedback at Peak Walking Adventures. Three reasons stood out.   1. Team:  ‘Side by Side’ walking outdoors enables different, better conversations. Colleagues get to know each other in an ‘agenda free’ environment. 2. Health: Our brains are spinning at digital pace but our legs and lungs need some action. A hike in the hills is good for employees’ physical and mental health. 3. Charity: Walks are great for corporate fundraising. Combine a charity walk with the team and health benefits above, and you cover three objectives in a day – great value for everyone. Based in the Peak District, with great access by road or train to UK cities and the Midlands, our approach is to look at your team’s aspirations, experience, and logistics to see how we can help. Then we plan a guided walk that's tailored to your needs.

🌟 Self-Care in the Small Charity World: Why It Matters 🌟 In the fast-paced, often demanding world of small charities, it's easy to put ourselves last. We're so focused on making a difference that we forget a crucial truth: 'You can't pour from an empty cup.' 🍵 Ok OK......It's cliché. "Put your own oxygen mask on first." "Self-care isn't selfish" etc etc.... But cliché or not - it's not wrong. It's not selfish - it's essential. The same applies to our work in the charity sector. Our missions are vital, our passion unwavering. But when we neglect our own well-being, we risk burnout and reduced effectiveness. Self-care isn't a luxury; it's a necessity for sustainable impact and we at Nova Fundraising & Associates Ltd are massive champions for not just the causes, but for the people who represent the causes. Let's commit to nurturing ourselves as passionately as we nurture our causes. After all, the world needs us at our best. Don't let overused phrases and buzz words numb you to the importance of the topic. How do you prioritise wellness in your charity work? Share your tips below! 👇 Join us in August: Discover how proper posture can elevate your fundraising game and boost your charity's productivity! Cath Short will share valuable insights tailored for the unique challenges faced by small charity teams ➡ https://lnkd.in/ekH7yfn8 Emma Low Emma-Louise Singh MCIOF(AdvDip) #CharityWellness #SelfCare #SmallCharities #SustainableImpact #ClichéButTrue #SmallCharitySupport #SmallButMighty

Corporate Social Responsibility is everyone’s responsibility, but a huge shoutout for the organisation and coordination by Pooja Gupta, Thomas Borg, MBA, Shriya Gadher, CFA, Henry Morgan for yesterday’s Foresight Group UK Infrastructure team’s charity day, which the UK People and Sustainable Culture Team gladly joined. The team is raising money for https://lnkd.in/eeduupDn , a fantastic charity set up by John Bell, who lost his son. Walking4Hope supports those who’ve suffered mental health issues by helping them connect with each other, without fear or judgment, in the great outdoors. John’s son Jake’s favourite character was Dead Pool and actor Ryan Reynolds shared his support too (link in comments)! Not only has money been raised to further support an amazing charity, but there are huge organisational advantages too: 💘 Purpose: With a complex business and people carrying out a wide variety of roles, it can be a challenge to ensure everyone is linked to the same purpose. This charity day provided a clear and cohesive purpose everyone was behind. 🤗 Interaction: Everybody had the opportunity to talk to people outside of their team, getting a chance to speak to new colleagues or build on existing relationships. The better our relationships, the more effective we are. 🤸♂️ Wellbeing: Spending the day out of the office and luckily in the sunshine, getting in steps in various forms, was great for encouraging a focus on wellbeing. I would love to hear what other activities people are doing as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. And of course, link in the comments below if you would like to donate to this great cause. #CorporateSocialResponsibility #CSR #TeamBuilding #MentalHealthAwareness #Walking4Hope #CommunityImpact #EmployeeEngagement #Wellbeing #foresightgroup

It is clear that our current #health and #care system needs to be reformed. Increased focus on the social determinants of health is required to understand and address the underlying causes of poor health and #wellbeing in people’s lives, working from a model of #prevention rather than treatment. We had the pleasure of hosting Stephen Kinnock, Minister of State for Care, at the Centre today to showcase our innovative approach to support across health and wellbeing. The Bromley by Bow Centre is a hub for the community. Together with our partners, Bromley by Bow Health, we offer our #community a place and a space to come, be and connect. Our person-centred, #holistic, and #integrated support works because it builds on the relationships our community has with our Centre. Our message is simple: Only together can the Third Sector and the #NHS address the growing #HealthInequalities in our communities. Our health and care system must be based on community #empowerment. Community Centres must be included as decision makers for our country’s health and wellbeing. Our model needs long term, sustainable funding, in contrast to the current funding model available to us, so we can continue the work our community deserves. #CommunityHealth #Charity

Delcuttering and Organizing your Spaces The hardest part when a space needs attention is not making the decision to declutter and organize but to actually do it. - but once you have decided go for it. I recommend setting aside a small amount of time to do this once a week and start with one area at a time. I like to clear the floor first and then start on one corner and work my way around the room. Once all the unwanted and or broken items are gone then the organizing can begin. It’s a great feeling when it’s done and you can use the space again. There are charity organizations that need items and many of them pick up too from your front door. If it's too overwhelming we can help - just ask me how www.wearesws.com - we don’t judge ! #delcutteringinsp #declutterimg #getorganized #organizingtips #pantryinspo #purging #atlorganizer #organizinghelp
