Did you know, half a million older people in the UK can go five or six days without speaking to anyone? And the festive period can be particularly difficult for older people who live alone, without or far away from family and friends.

Your event will help support older people who might be lonely or isolated, and give them a chance to connect with others during the festive period. Whether it’s your first event or you’re continuing a time-honoured tradition, add your event to our community Christmas directory. Listings are free and your event just needs to be happening in December and suitable for older people. Together, let’s create social connections at Christmas for older people across the UK 🧡: https://bit.ly/46ZRVCD

What does it mean to celebrate Christmas far from home? This is my third Christmas away from Scotland, due to living in Canada on a visa. Being far from home during the holidays can feel not quite right, but I’ve learned it’s an opportunity to create new traditions and make the season feel special in your own way. If you’re spending your first Christmas away or considering a big move, here are some tips: 1️⃣ Bring your traditions with you – Familiar recipes, decorations, or playlists can make any space feel like home. 2️⃣ Embrace where you are – Celebrate the unique traditions of your new location and make them your own. 3️⃣ Create your community – Share the season with friends through small gatherings or simple moments. 4️⃣ Make space for your feelings – It’s okay to miss home while also finding joy where you are now. And it’s the 25th of November! Never too early for a tree 🫶

While more than half of U.S. adults celebrate Memorial Day, the number of celebrators is slightly less this year (62% this year vs. 66% last year). Specifically, cookout attendance is down while holiday travel is up. Here's how to spot those celebrating: https://hubs.la/Q02yk9pf0 #CivicScience #insights #data #trends #intelligence #marketresearch #mrx #consumerbehavior #consumerinsights #consumerintelligence

Whether it’s the sound of kids unwrapping gifts, the glow of lights on a cosy evening, or a shared meal with family, the holidays remind us how important our spaces are.

It’s a reminder of why so many people choose to call this community home. As we soak up the joys of the season, it’s also a chance to dream about what 2025 might bring. Whether you’re imagining a bigger space for your family, wondering what’s next for the Bayside market or simply looking for some guidance, we’re here to help you make those plans a reality. ✨ #FollettCo #ChristmasMarketTips #BaysideLiving #RealEstateInsights #BrightonProperty

The captions may be off, my apologies. When I outline these principles, I always bring it back to the fact that we have these as responsibilities to carry out and we can expect that from others with whom we choose to engage with. That is why I keep saying Kwanzaa the holiday is just celebrating these everyday values that inspired the holiday, but are truly carried out with how we live, grow and connect. When the holiday is over, we don’t just stop doing our best and working together 😂😂😂. So for anyone new to Nguzo Babies or my work as a whole, none of this should be taken in isolation…there’s always an ongoing, expansive conversation. You don’t have to be well versed in Kwanzaa to understand the bottomline. I choose to use this framework because it spoke to me, made sense for how I wanted to empower the children I worked with and once I built it like THIS…the children not only understood it, they pointed it out in their play and daily interactions. I think something special can happen when you formally communicate values with children. Of course, you must also set the example by modeling them as well. But back to this video: this, in simplicity, might be seen as holding each other accountable. Once we agree to these terms, we build relationships based on the TRUST we have in each other in carrying these out. That’s why I called them trust blocks.

Our latest blog is more patient-focused...remember that Thanksgiving is not a feast-filled event for all, but there is always something to be grateful for! Throughout the holiday season, let's be gracious to those who have different experiences! 🙏 See our blog at https://lnkd.in/eU6j4Nur and https://lnkd.in/gPpAcyVU!

How Will You Make This Grandparents Day Special? Grandparents Day offers a wonderful opportunity to honor the wisdom, love, and support that grandparents bring to our lives. Here are three thoughtful ways to show your appreciation: 1. **Plan a Family Picnic in the Park**     Take advantage of pleasant weather and organize a picnic at a local park. Pack some of their favorite snacks, share stories, and enjoy the outdoors together. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to create lasting memories. 2. **Create a Memory Book**     Gather photos, handwritten notes, and keepsakes to assemble a personalized memory book. Whether it chronicles family history or highlights recent moments, this heartfelt gift will be cherished for years to come. 3. **Organize a Virtual Celebration**     If distance is a factor, a virtual gathering can still bring everyone together. Set up a video call with family members, share activities, or even watch a movie together online. Grandparents will appreciate the effort, even if celebrated from afar. This Grandparents Day, take the time to celebrate the legacy of love and support that grandparents provide across generations.
