IT'S A HEART THING Glen Meadows located in Hamilton, Ohio has a monthly BINGO store for their residents; the residents get BINGO bucks for participating and winning games. Torlana is a Restorative Aide at the facility and one of her residents doesn't like BINGO but like to shop at the store. Torlana takes him and then with her own money makes a donation to the store. We have so many good staff that go above and beyond for their residents because they become like family. Doing something extra for someone and not wanting anything in return is a beautiful thing. Foundations Core Value #2 is "Do what is right, even when no one is watching." Torlana is one of so many more of our caring staff across the State that give so much of themselves to their residents and fellow staff. They are our Culture of Care, and they are making a difference every day. You don’t do the right things for credit, you do it because it’s right. Torlana does what she does for her residents because it makes her residents feel happy and at home! By doing what’s right and not looking for recognition makes everyone’s jobs and lives easier and more fulfilled. It's simply a heart thing. #heartthing #doingwhatsright #glenmeadows #foundationshealthsolutions #cultureofcare #makingadifference #seniorliving #seniorcare

All of us have a 50:50 chance of providing unpaid care by the time we are 50 years old, and a 2 in 3 chance of providing care in our lifetime. The huge individual and collective contribution made by unpaid carers should be properly recognised and supported by future governments as well as by local services and by employers to ensure unpaid carers can hope to have similar outcomes to non-carers. In 2024, Carers Week is made possible through Carers UK working together with seven other major charities: Age UK, Carers Trust, The Lewy Body Society, ME Association, Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association , Oxfam and Rethink Mental Illness.

Christmas is coming! What is a joyous time for many brings dread for others. Feeding Families (UK) has always had Christmas at its core as that's how we got started and the need never gets less. We launched our Christmas campaign this week with the support of Kim McGuinness, North East Mayor. Especially if you are local to us (but you don't have to be), can you do one of the following: 1. Make a donation which will fill a box with food for a family. https://lnkd.in/dWD9UpAy 2. Do a fundraising event in your workplace. (Let us know if you need some support.) 3. Do a food collection at work or in your street (great to get the kids involved with!). We have flyers and collection boxes if you want to pick some up. 4. Volunteer - we need people to drive our vans and pack our boxes and there are still some spaces available. You can register here https://lnkd.in/esamzP4q A little bit of your time and effort, when added to everyone else's, will make a massive difference to thousands of home this year. Don't scroll by - be the solution to someone's need this year.

BradyPLUS This is truly commendable! Isn’t the act of spreading love a form of sustainable development? 🌍❤️ I believe that the act of sharing love is not just an emotional connection but also a reflection of social sustainability. When people share, help, and care for one another, they are building a more united and compassionate community. 🤝✨ This virtuous cycle not only fosters social harmony but also inspires others to take action, creating a ripple effect of positivity. 🌟 Sustainability is not only about resources and the environment but also about the support and understanding among people. By spreading love, we are, in essence, creating a sustainable social value system—one where everyone feels valued and is motivated to work together for a brighter future. 🌱💡

As professionals, we often measure success in terms of achievements, milestones, or financial gains. But lately, I’ve been reflecting on what success really means to me, and I believe it goes far beyond the traditional metrics. For me, true success is about the impact we have on others, the lives we touch, and the positive change we create in our communities. This is why I’m so proud to be a member of the Constructing Excellence Gloucestershire Club. The club’s focus isn’t just on business growth or industry recognition – it’s about using our collective strengths to make a tangible difference in the community. From supporting local charities to promoting inclusive initiatives, CE Glos is a shining example of how success can be measured by the good we do, not just the profits we make. Being part of this incredible network reminds me that real fulfilment comes from giving back and uplifting others. Whether it’s volunteering, sponsoring local events, or supporting initiatives that make a difference, the work we do as part of CE Glos is a testament to the power of community and collaboration. I’m inspired by how we come together to create positive change, and I’m excited to continue being part of this movement. Because at the end of the day, true success isn’t about what you have – it’s about what you give. #ProudToBePartOfCEGlos #MakingADifference #TrueSuccess #CommunityImpact #GivingBack

💔 The Harsh Reality of the System-Compassion Must Prevail 💡 Kathy had two months to live, no job, and nowhere to turn. Legally, I couldn’t waive her rent—but morally, we couldn’t stand by. We connected her to charities, arranged medical transport, covered utilities, and ensured she wasn’t alone. Because at Halo Communities, we believe housing is more than a roof—it’s humanity. 💬 What’s your take? Should landlords and property owners go beyond the call of duty to support their residents? Or does the system leave us powerless? Let’s create a conversation about responsibility, compassion, and the difference we can make. #HousingForAll #CompassionInAction #SocialResponsibility #CommunitySupport #EndHomelessness #CharityWork #HumanityFirst #HousingMatters #CommunityCare #EmpathyAndAction

Homelessness in the West Midlands, including Warwickshire, has been increasing due to rising housing costs and limited access to affordable housing. From 2023-24, there was a 12.3% rise in households assessed as homeless or at risk, with approximately 178,560 households requiring immediate assistance across England, including a significant portion in the West Midlands. For Warwickshire specifically, organizations emphasize proactive intervention, from financial aid and rent deposit schemes to mental health support for those vulnerable to homelessness. However, resource constraints remain a challenge for both statutory and voluntary agencies in effectively managing homelessness (especially rough sleeping) across the county. That's why Kare Plus Kenilworth want to support those who are in need this winter by collecting donations at Kare Plus Kenilworth, 23 Talisman Square, Kenilworth, CV8 1JB. #karepluskenilworth #supportingthehomeless #helpthevulnerable
