Imagine a child's smile as they receive their very own bike—a symbol of independence, adventure, and endless possibilities. But gifting bikes goes beyond a simple act of generosity; it's a catalyst for positive change in the lives of children and for the communities they belong to. Gifting bikes to under-served children: 🚲️ Leads to enhanced public health as children are more active and living healthier lifestyles 🚲️ Allows children to be more engaged in their community and with their friends and neighbors 🚲️ Gives students a way of getting around that doesn't involve a vehicle, leading to positive environmental impact 🚲️ Allows families to save money on fuel, providing an economic benefit Bikes are so much more than they seem to be on the surface!

Chief of Staff at Happen Ventures | Sustainability & Recycling Visionary | Leading the Charge in Beneficial Reuse | Creating Value from Surplus
In February 2023, we teamed up with Burlington Stores for a special purpose. Here's how.. SEE → ACT → IMPACT SEE the chance to help. Burlington Stores had extra office supplies and sanitizer. They didn't need it, but others did. ACT to make a change. We used our beneficial reuse program. We picked up the items and delivered them to schools and shelters. It was quick and efficient. IMPACT lives with simple actions. Burlington cleared their space, and the community received much-needed supplies. Nothing went to waste. At Happen Ventures, we love helping businesses & communities. Working with Burlington Stores showed how we can all do good together. Be helpful. Make a difference. Repost ♻️ if this inspired you. ----------------- Don’t miss out on the interesting initiative we have taken to benefit the community: https://lnkd.in/eB9zrcij #sustainability #communitysupport #corporatesocialresponsibility #wastereduction #donationdrive #impactfulgiving #beneficialreuse #happenventures

This is me brushing leaves off paths for parkrun at 8am last Sunday 😮 Flashback a few years, I’d probably be brushing crisps out of my bed with a hangover at that time of day… How life changes. Anyway - I’m proud to be part of a team of locals that recently launched Junior Parkrun, a free weekly running event for young people. You’ve probably heard of ParkRun - if not, google it. It’s apparently the most successful UK public health initiative ever, with zero government support. (no surprises there). I love volunteering here for a few reasons: 🏃🏾Being self-employed gets lonely - I crave more human interaction! 🏃🏾Makes my kids proud / offers reasons to get them up early 🏃🏾Wearing a hi-vis jacket makes me feel important 😄 Volunteering here and elsewhere has surprised me in a few ways: ✌️It's super low pressure networking (I’ve found paid work through it) ✌️Satisfaction that’s hard to find in paid work ✌️Leads to unexpectedly interesting links and opportunities Have you tried volunteering? What will you be doing at 8am this Sunday? Gosh that sounds like a guilt trip doesn’t it - don’t worry I’m just trying to start some chat 🙂 Whatever you're doing, have a sweet weekend y'all #Volunteering #HiVisHero #TongueInCheek

I've spent the last 3 weeks #volunteering, working in areas that have nothing to do with my professional life, in a country that is currently at war. I worked in #agriculture and #logistics, donated blood, served food for soldiers, publicly protested against a biased and unresponsive international organization and met incredible people of all ages and origins who, just like me, had left jobs and families to be part of a collective show of love and support for a people and a country. I've always done tons of #volunteering back home and get a great sense of fulfilment from it. In fact I always say to my clients that volunteering day/initiatives/projects can be a fantastic way to increase #employeengagement. But here is a plot twist: this trip kind of changed my views of things and not because it wasn't great. On the contrary, the whole experience was very emotional and incredibly meaningful because every single bone in my body had begged me to go and being there was really special. This trip change my mind about #employee #volunteering because I saw firsthand that to be truly meaningful, engaging and perhaps even life changing it should be a personal journey and not a #brandbuilding exercise. The more connected to the cause we are the more impactful the experience will be, there is no doubt about that. Maybe building a brand should be part of it, but not necessarily the ultimate aim. Perhaps it is more important for companies to make space for their employees to fulfill their very own individual volunteering journeys. So next time you think about including #volunteering as part of your mark/comms plan you might want to consider asking your #employees which causes they feel strongly about and would like to give their time and energy to, instead of just drawing a new project in the #meetingroom and implementing it #toptobottom. #amisraelchai

The sun’s out, the schools are closed and holiday mode is in full swing. But even if you’re off work it can still be a busy time- especially if you’re struggling to think of fun activities for kids that can rival the iPad. That’s why it’s so important to take time out to breathe, recuperate and reenage with life outside your usual work and home life bubble. If you’re not going away this summer, why not look into joining some local community initiatives? After all, there’s no reason to wait until September to explore something new. 🧑🌾 From gardening and rewilding projects in local parks, to tree planting or volunteering at a fun run, there’s plenty of options to choose from. Head to your local council’s website to check out what’s on in your area. ❤️🩹 Research from the National Council for Voluntary Organisations shows that volunteering and community involvement can improve your mental health, with 77% of people saying it boosts their wellbeing. 🐇 Whether it’s learning how to protect local wildlife or using tools to repair a children’s climbing frame, getting involved in community activities can teach new skills and give you the opportunity to try things you’d never usually do. 🧑🤝🧑 It can also help you to meet people locally, making new friends and adding to your existing support networks. Do you volunteer locally? Tell us about some of the best community projects you’ve ever been involved with? #Sledge #Volunteering #Community

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." This powerful quote reminds us that every action we take, no matter how small, has an impact. It's easy to feel like our efforts are insignificant, especially in a world so vast and complex. But the truth is, each step we take, each kind word we speak, and each good deed we perform creates ripples that spread far and wide. Imagine a world where everyone believed in their power to make a difference. Our collective actions, fueled by this belief, can bring about positive change in our communities and beyond. Whether it's helping a neighbor, volunteering, or simply being kind, these actions add up. They create a better world for everyone. So, don't underestimate your role. Embrace it and act with purpose and passion. Your actions matter. They inspire others and contribute to a chain of positivity and progress. #BelieveInYourImpact #EveryActionCounts #SmallStepsBigChanges #MakeADifference #PositiveImpact #parking #parkqwik #monthlyparking #parkingsolution #parkingsuperstar #parkingmadeeasy
