The Alnwick Garden’s Post

I was just perusing Nude Beverages website and noticed that they had a separate tab entitled "Animal Rescue". Intrigued, I checked it out. Animal wellbeing is where I typically focus my own philanthropic efforts and seeing that a portion of all of their sales goes towards a number of local organizations actually made me want to join their team! Seriously. And to see it so front and centre on their website made me feel that their efforts are authentic. Did you know that 61% of Millennials would consider a company’s commitment to the community when making a job decision? If you’re searching for a way to draw in younger employees, and encourage them to stay with your company, improving your corporate giving programs could benefit you greatly. Check out Nude Beverages site for some inspiration (and maybe some new organizations you might want to personally donate to!): https://lnkd.in/gy2vtC2C #CorporatePhilanthropy #Recruiting #HumanResources

Well done

A lovely example of the difference that can be made when you develop tangible interactions blending meaning, purpose and resiliance to create interactive spaces and experiences that spark aspirations! In turn this helps build a sense of belief in and ownership of the communities where we live and work - including being educated.👍🏻 #ownership #lifeskills #togetherwecanmakeadifference #teamwork #community #communityengagement

I volunteered at The Hoboken Shelter, and it was an awesome experience. It taught me how even my (1 person) participation can make a difference to those in need, and importantly making things easy for everyone so that people can utilize the services effectively! I spent the day sorting through donations, which included separating three HUGE bags of bread donated by local bakeries. This task involved separating the good bread from the stale. After that, I teamed up with another volunteer and made sure that pastries, soap bars, and other food items were portioned properly so that people could easily collect and use them. Putting hygiene protocols into action makes a difference between people consuming and adhering to them. It’s all about making things easy- not just about access or education. I also helped with behind-the-scenes efforts in washing kitchen towels and aprons for the staff and volunteers. It’s not just help for the needy. This experience taught me how much of a difference even just one person volunteering can make - drops make an ocean. I also learned that one should focus on operations and make things easy for all involved so that adherence is effective. Most importantly, I made friends with other volunteers, and it was overall a fun experience that involved giving back to my community. Make an impact in someone’s life today. Be a Do-Gooder and get involved- lead through action! #Volunteering #DoGooder #CommunityService

🌿 At CleanEvent Services Ltd, we are keen to support with our clients with their efforts to make a positive impact on our planet. One of the most rewarding aspects of this collaboration is supporting biodiversity projects that enhance and protect our natural environment. 🌸 Biodiversity is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems. It ensures natural sustainability for all life forms, providing us with clean air, water, and fertile soil. 🐝 Bees play a vital role in the environment - these little pollinators are essential for the reproduction of many plants, including crops that make up a significant portion of our food supply. Without bees, we would face a decline in the availability of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. 🌼 We are committed to initiatives that support bee populations and are delighted to be a sponsor of our client ACC Liverpool's new bee-friendly habitat. We are proud to partner with organisations who are dedicated to making a difference. 🌍 Supporting biodiversity isn't just good for the environment—it's essential for the future of the planet. #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Bees #Environment #Impact #CorporateResponsibility #ESG #TheGreenEventEffect

It's hard to describe the past autumn in a few sentences (and it's not over yet 😉 ). 💡 Key words: charity, busy, amazing, varied, exhausting, travelling the country, working in the sun and rain, meeting and working with fantastic people. This autumn we held charity team-building events for 8 companies and awarness-raising programme for 3; all in 32 days. 🤗 We helped 3 national parks, 4 children's homes, 2 environmental NGOs, 1 home for the elderly, 1 community centre, 1 community garden together with volunteers from companies. ⛏ We built bird boxes, raised flower beds, composting bins, stork nests, painted rooms, eliminated invasive species, renovated information boards, etc. I have had the opportunity to field visit, plan the events, lead programmes, give presentations, demonstrate awareness raising games and of course improvise when nothing went as planned. 🌺 Meanwhile, we have 2 menstruation programmes running which I manage, so I often found myself checking in to international meetings from the conservation area in my wellies. 😆 I'm very proud of our work and the team we've done it with. 💚 Zöldövezet Társulás Egyesület It is fantastic to benefit from these experiences. #environmentprotection #charity #charityteambuilding
