Wealth creation is important during the formative stages. Kids in early stages of career should focus on sharpening their skills, doing courses, and preparing themselves for entrepreneurship. Once they are adequate, do philanthropy.

While a perfect solution may be elusive, at Stays In, we are committed to leveraging tourism to benefit the community. To achieve this, we allocate a portion of our commission to local charities and promote local businesses to our guests. What other steps would you take if you wanted to use tourism to benefit the community? #CommunitySupport #LocalBusinesses #TravelResponsibly #SupportLocal #TourismForGood #GiveBack #TravelSustainably #StaysInTheStaysThatCount

“The kit list gave her sleepless nights and she ended up knocking on friends doors to borrow gear”… If only Sophia Dancygier had come across KitUp before embarking on this EPIC adventure! This is not only a problem for those undertaking big adventures. It’s something that the majority of us deal with, thinking that we can’t or won’t be able to enjoy an adventure (big or small) because we don’t own all of the kit. This is CRAZY. The amount of camping, mountaineering, trail running, cycling, surfing, canoeing, paddle boarding equipment in circulation is more than enough for everyone. Every day we see more being listed on KitUp for others to rent. This is the way forwards. It saves us all a lot of money and is far more sustainable. Well done Sophia Dancygier, what an achievement! We would love to help prepare you for your next outdoorsy adventure! #sustainablebusiness #circulareconomy #adventure #forcharity #outdoorindustry #pushyourlimits #newskills

Why I volunteer when I can… This was me yesterday, about to begin volunteering for the day with Seaful charity and the amazing events they host; connecting people with waterways and educating young people about ocean protection. I’ve been supporting Seaful and a number of other charities, since becoming self-employed and here’s my reasons why… 1) To stay connected with and support causes which I believe in, and which align with my own personal values. 2) To escape the ‘busy-loneliness’ of being self-employed (if you know, you know) and connect with cool people who share my values too. 3) To maintain a sense of balance, and not become swamped with the need for revenue-based activity all the time. 4) Because volunteering is cool 😎 and yes, it’s OK to feel good about doing it too. Question… Do you #volunteer and if so, what do you enjoy most about it? Why not volunteer your comments below (see what I did there!)… #volunteer #charity #leadership #connection #people #values #beliefs #bethechange #businessowner #selfemployed #stayconnected #bluespace #oceanprotection #coaching

95% of the world's population has never been on a plane before. 🛫 As such, I think we forget just how much of a privilege travel is. 🧳 Yet, in the professional world amidst a season of conferences, trade shows, meetings, and other events, travel can sometimes be considered stressful. 💼🌎 I try to always remember how lucky I am to see all the cool places I see, do all the fun things I get to do, and meet all the interesting people I get to meet. 🏝️ Even (especially) in the hour-long line at customs off a long-haul overnight flight with little-no sleep in the terminal without AC. 🛂😴 Gratitude for every single trip, day, activity, and moment during travel is so important. It’s also important to pay it forward.🤝 Many of us even cite our fondest memories as those made away from home. 💭🗺️ It’s why I’m raising money in partnership with MintPass and Make-A-Wish Southern Nevada to make such memories possible for those who deserve them most, perhaps before it’s too late.❤️ If you’re someone like me who relays their upcoming calendar as a string of different cities or countries, please consider passing that privilege on to make a dream trip come true. 📆 Link: https://lnkd.in/gey8ymAz #makeawish #fundraising #travelforgood

Foggy's next booked in trip is....... Marrakesh is 27th-30th January *Foggy* Marrakesh?!!! 😍🥳🐶 Get in touch if you can help to fill the in-between gap with a trip! Foggy is on a year-long challenge to travel 250,000 miles. How 'Foggy-sitting' works (when you are travelling overseas from the UK) - You get in touch and tell me where you are heading (with dates) I book you in 😊 (The itinerary requires a lot of juggling!! I prioritise greater mileage) I post Foggy to you (or hand him to you if you live in Portsmouth UK) You take Foggy on your trip You take photos to prove where he is - Foggy's campaigns are also driven by social media and weird and wacky photos drive engagement. When you get home you post Foggy back to me (or I come and collect him if you are local). You do not have to donate to be able to Foggy-sit but I do ask that you pay for the return postage cost (negotiable depending on individual circumstances). I provide info sheets about what M.E is inside Foggy's global travel bag so if anyone stops you and asks what Foggy is for/What M.E is, it's easy to explain! Foggy raises awareness AND funds. If you live overseas and want to show Foggy around that is also AWESOME and works in a similar way but is dependant on a reliable postal system! Please help. #Charity #Fundraiser #Disability #Research #Travel

18th December. And now for something a bit different. The last week of my bike-related advent calendar will be more inspirational than charitable. 🚲 Have you ever heard about Bicibus.EU? It’s not a bus FOR cyclists, it’s a bus OF cyclists. In other words, a group of boys and girls who ride together in a group from home to school accompanied or not by adults (family members, monitors or volunteers). There is a predefined timetable and itinerary with departure and arrival points, just like the actual bus. You can hop in for a ride. With all the traffic jams around schools in the morning and the afternoon, it’s a perfect car alternative for commuting. Healthier, more fun and more planet-friendly. I know of bicibuses in Spain and Germany. Is there one in your city? Head to the website in comments for details. Who knows, maybe there already is a bicibus near you or just waiting for you to start it! 🙏 Do something for you, for your children, local communities and the planet. Consider bicibus or just simply bike with your children to school at least once per week. 🔗 Link in the comments. #cyclingtranslator #cyclinguist #vanslator #donatingtranslator #donate #christmas #adventcalendar #bikeadventcalendar

🌴 Paradise Reflection: A Holiday State of Mind 🌴 While on holiday surrounded by the tranquillity of paradise, it can allow time to think deeply about how we spend our time, particularly in the context of our work. The word "paradise" often conjures images of white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and endless relaxation. But what if paradise could also be found back home, in the everyday moments where we contribute to something greater? Holidays can allow you to reflect on what true satisfaction in life means. Yes, we're finance professionals working and getting paid but what about using our skills to make a difference? What if paradise could be found in the balance between our professional lives and the time we dedicate to causes that resonate with us? Consider how you could volunteer your skills to support a cause that aligns with your values. Whether it’s helping a local non-profit manage their finances or mentoring someone in need of financial guidance, there’s a unique fulfilment that comes from using our talents to benefit others Perhaps, true paradise is not just a place we visit, but a state of being we cultivate by aligning our work, passions, and values. It’s a sense of purpose that we carry with us, no matter where we are 🧭Chart your path into the non-profit sector 🌴Visit the Charterpath website➡️ paradise this way➡️ #Charterpath #volunteering #nonprofits #charities #finance #accounting Alice (Stein) Clementi Alex Marsh Khurrum Beg Eleanor Norton Jordan Hart Sara Wrinch (nee Donaldson)
