A will serves as a voice from beyond, guiding the distribution of one's estate. It reflects personal wishes and ensures that the right people benefit from a lifetime of hard work. Beneficiaries can range from family members to friends or even organizations and charities. Their role is not just to receive but to honor the legacy and intentions of the departed. Let's explore the significance of a will and introduce the concept of beneficiaries, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of estate planning in North Carolina. https://lnkd.in/ewrUtitH #estateplanning #nc #attorney #beneficiaries

I feel very lucky to work with the hospitality industry. It such a collaborative and fun sector to be involved in. What never ceases to amaze me about those in the industry, is that, despite the widely reported and significant challenges the sector continues to face, they remain committed to regularly coming together to support great causes, whether or not related to hospitality. Last week, Clarke & Son Solicitors again took part in the annual Drinks Trade Regatta, which raised a significant sum for charity. On 6th June we will be taking part in the London Bridge Walk, organised by our friends at Beds and Bars Group. This year, the walk will raise funds for AWARE Scotland. AWARE Scotland is a charity that believe that all children, regardless of their life experience, backgrounds and needs, have the right to happiness and the opportunity to self-develop. They help the most in need to achieve their full potential as valued members of the community. AWARE Scotland provide supported respite breaks focused on physical activity, mental wellbeing, social awareness and fun. Their unique experiences are designed to build confidence and engender lifelong friendships. Their respite care, tailors their activities for the needs of those with additional support requirements, to provide a diverse and inclusive environment for all. I have seen first-hand, the significant difficulties some of my friends face when it comes to finding activities suitable for children with additional needs. With the pandemic and challenging economic conditions, investment into existing and new services is severely depleted. Charities like AWARE Scotland have always played an important role in helping and developing the lives of young people, but their role is becoming increasingly critical to a greater number. Young people today are facing challenges and difficulties we had hoped had been consigned to the past. It has been widely reported that Millennials and Gen Z are likely to be the first generations worse off than their parents. Alarmingly, 2023 statistics showed 30% of children in the UK were living in child poverty and The Resolution Foundation has estimated that, in the short term at least, the number of people in the UK living in absolute poverty will continue to rise, reaching 12 million in 2024/25. Even those not in the direst positions are having to adapt. The sharp increase in cost of living has forced many families to cut back on discretionary spending, including activities and holidays. Looking forward, young people today are faced with increased costs of living and education, higher student and other debt, rents at unprecedented levels and house prices continuing to inflate.   I know many of you reading this will have charities and good causes which you support. If you would like to help support this wonderful organisation, any donation, no matter how small, will be appreciated. Plus, I will be stuck with Alex May for the day. Surely that deserves something?

"As a trustee at the Directory of Social Change (DSC), an organisation dedicated to supporting charities in their work, I find myself grappling with a troubling reality in British philanthropy: a disconnect between the communities served and the boards making decisions.

🆕 Under the bonnet of unrestricted funding with The Bromley Trust. Director of the Trust, Laura Roling, shares why they decided to embrace flexible funding in this way, seeing it as a 'vital way to help charities to navigate challenging times and develop new ways of meeting people's needs.' We also hear from grantees and charity leaders, Naomi Delap and Penny Parker. They explain what unrestricted funding allows their organisations to do and give words of advice to other funders, including thinking of longer-term change and ‘the bigger picture.’ Do any of their experiences and perspectives ring true to you? 🤔 🔗 Read the case study: buff.ly/3Pmu2O4

Really important and continuing conversation regarding the impact of unrestricted funding being carried out in this series of reports. Unrestricted funding is not just crucial for the survival of organisations in the social sector but also for our ability - as funders - to live up to our own missions and deliver change as quickly as we can. Our job - if we take it seriously - is to help reimagine and create a world so beautiful that our very jobs become unnecessary. Unrestricted funding to organisations with the vision, passion, and focus to lead the way, a crucial tool to get us there.
