Here's what's behind the reflex response, "Good thanks, just busy!" 👋 PSA to charity leaders: stepping back ≠ letting things slip. Your organisation won't collapse if you take a few days off. By taking time to rest, you're showing your team it's okay to prioritise wellbeing. (That's leadership in action, right there!) P.S.

🌟 Join Us for a Special Event This Friday! 🌟 Today, we’re excited to share a heartwarming story from one of our supporters and invite you to a special event hosted by Fortune Creek to support Kelowna's Gospel Mission. 🎉 Event Details: 📅 Date: Friday, June 28th 🕓 Time: 4-8 PM 📍 Location: 231 Bernard Ave Enjoy special performances by Dawson Gray + Guests, delicious treats like Famous Butter Tarts, fresh fruit milkshakes, pies, sausage, and more! ✨ Call to Action: Please bring food donations or cash. All contributions will support Kelowna's Gospel Mission. Here’s a story that highlights why we are the charity of choice for Fortune Creek: "I heard a story once that described the difference between Heaven and Hell: In Hell there was a huge table, on it was every food imaginable, and you were allowed to eat whatever you wanted, they only rule was you could not eat with your hands. People around Hells table were sad and hungry because the utensils they were forced to use we so large they could not hold it in their hands and feed themselves. So they starved. In Heaven they had the same huge table, with the same food, and the same large utensils. Similarly, you were allowed to eat whatever you wanted, provided you did not eat with your hands. But unlike Hell, they were laughing and smiling with full bellies of amazing food. How? Because rather than feed themselves, they fed each other. That’s why the utensils were so large to begin with and because they took care of each other’s needs, they flourished. The reason why we chose KGM is we believe community challenges require community solutions. The KGM is one the best initiatives to help support our growing and changing community’s needs. " Bring your family and friends for a wonderful time! We look forward to seeing you there! #SupportLocal #Kelownas #FortuneCreek #SpecialEvent #FamilyFriendly #CommunitySupport #LocalSupportGospelMission #CommunityEvent #GiveBack

Christmas is a brilliant time of year, but it’s easy to get swept up in the chaos of gifts, parties, and celebrations. For me, the festive season is a valuable time to give back. This time of year can be particularly tough for some, so I’ve been reflecting on ways to help others and spread a little extra cheer: 🔴 Donate to a food bank: Whether it’s canned goods or essentials like toiletries, food banks do amazing work. FreshFood4Families is a great example of a local group making a real difference here in Yorkshire. 🔴 Give the gift of time: Volunteering, whether it’s at a shelter or wrapping gifts for charity, has a special way of reminding us what the season is really about. 🔴 Check in on loved ones and neighbours: A quick phone call or visit could mean the world to someone feeling isolated this Christmas. 🔴 Donate or support a cause you care about: Whether it’s a toy drive for children or sponsoring a family in need, every small act counts. It doesn’t have to be big to make a difference. Even the smallest gesture can bring a little light to someone’s life this Christmas. #christmasreflections #givingback #kindnessmatters

People keep asking, "What is a FIT List?" It's not what you think! The FIT List is our founder’s unique twist on a bucket list, where the "B" is replaced with an "F" to avoid sending the wrong message to the universe. Yes, you can take on exciting challenges like skydives, but you can also choose more relaxing experiences, like a spa day or a meal out. Everyone should have a FIT List, no matter who you are or what you're going through. It’s all about achieving personal goals and through Influential Stars its all about ticking off that list with a avid follower whilst supporting charitable causes at the same time.

As part of our recent downtime series – designed to highlight the benefits of downtime, Angellica Bell interviewed Sarah Bissell, Deputy Director of Fundraising for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH) – Premier Inn’s charity partner. Sarah gave us a great insight into why downtime is so vital when working in the charity sector. Working for GOSH, Sarah sees many families going through extremely difficult situations... so, when she gets home, she makes sure to spend quality time with her own family, including her two daughters. Sarah also makes time for exercise too. 🏃♂️ ‘What we do is so exciting and an amazing opportunity. The way that we do that is by going out and inspiring people to give and it’s very tempting to put a lot of your life into it! It’s taken me a long time to get there, but getting the answers you need for the big stuff is fed by seeing the outside world, which is why downtime is so important’. When it comes to finding the right balance, breaking things up and cutting off from the 9 to 5, you know that, at Premier Inn, you’ll always be able to make time for downtime. Watch Sarah’s interview below, and read our article to find out more about our Downtime series.😴 https://lnkd.in/eP7w_pPW #PremierInn #DowntimeSeries #WorkTravel
