⭐ Movember: Let's Talk About Men's Health ⭐ Have you noticed any freshly sprouting moustaches around you lately? Beyond the 'stache fun, this month is all about raising awareness for men's health issues like mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer 💙 Did you know men die on average 4.5 years earlier than women? It's a reminder to start those important conversations! 💬Many people feel unsure about how to approach these topics. You might think, "I didn't know what to ask" or "I didn't know what to say." That's perfectly okay! Just asking, "How are you really doing?" can open the door to deeper discussions 🤔 Here's a few great Charities to check out 🤝 Movember: Funds research and programmes for men's health 🎗️ Mind: Offers mental health support 🧠 Samaritans: Provides 24/7 emotional support📞 There are also many local social groups like #MenThatMerlot in Dorset with Richard Walker that provide a great community environment 🗣️ This Movember, let's break the silence around men's health together! If you know of any charities or local groups that support men's mental health, please share them in the comments. Let's keep the conversation going! 🙌 #Movember #MensHealth #4FrontRecruitment https://lnkd.in/e8PAvgMb

The amazing organisation that is #parkrun is 20 years old today. There is clear evidence of the significant impact it has on mental health, local community cohesion and encouraging people into/back into exercise. Through a recent research project on parkrun, published in the #EuropeanJournalofMarketing, I explored how innovative it's approach to volunteering was. A complete game changer with flexible roles, flexible commitment and a genuine sense of ownership. You can read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/en5YGv-c

These experiences are essential for building a sense of purpose, meaning, and belonging. At Legacy, we see firsthand how moments of connection can inspire change. Sponsoring the Recovery Open is our way of supporting the same values we encourage in our clients: finding joy, building relationships, and feeling part of something bigger.

You may notice that our Geelong United Basketball WNBL players have a purple band around the top of their singlet. This band is a powerful symbol of support for survivors of domestic violence. This season, the WNBL, clubs, athletes, and the players’ association have united to raise awareness around this critical issue. Did you know? 1 in 4 women have experienced violence from a partner; and In 2024, a woman is tragically expected to die every four days due to domestic violence. Enough is enough. A life free from violence is possible, and when everyone plays a role, real change happens. Learn how you can be part of the solution by visiting initiative partner, Full Stop Australia.

The Breakin' It Down Chicago conference took place on Friday, October 25, 2024. This year, the conference theme was "Rooted in Purpose." I was deeply honored to have been invited to present a workshop, "Financing Your Cause: Proposal Writing For Nonprofits and Community Leaders". This workshop provided actionable insights for nonprofit leaders to boost their organizations' proposal writing success. I shared evidence-based approaches to assessing community needs and developing a theory of change; writing compelling grant proposals and laying the groundwork for evaluation. Workshop participants were asked to develop a program logic model, and we had time for one person to share her program logic model and get feedback from other participants. Here are some unofficial pictures that I took.

#Budget24 will hit #charity and #voluntarysector hard. We are employers, we don’t have guaranteed income streams like #PublicSector. We are the #essentialsector. We need parity with public sector on #NationalInsurance rises.
