In light of recent budget decisions, it’s deeply concerning to see the increased financial pressure being placed on hospices. They've been open about growing financial struggles, and these new measures only exacerbate an already precarious situation. How exactly does this promote growth? Hospices provide essential support, relieving the burden on the NHS and community care services while offering dignity and compassionate care to patients and their families. These funding cuts risk hospice closures, job losses, and service reductions, which will, in turn, overwhelm the NHS, increase public spending, and ultimately shift the costs back to taxpayers. The direct impact on communities is undeniable unless changes are made: reduced care, increased strain on an already stretched NHS, and a decline in essential services for the people who need them most.
The RSPCA & Hospice UK are just two of thousands of charities who have now signed NCVO ‘s open letter to the Chancellor, expressing alarm at the potential impact on services of the rise in employer national insurance contributions from April. I was therefore pleased to appear on BBC Breakfast this morning with Chris Sherwood, to spell out the obviously disastrous consequences on hospices and indeed the whole of the UK’s charitable sector, if exemptions or other mitigating actions are not forthcoming.

Absolutely inspiring initiative! The journey from 1 billion to the audacious goal of 100 billion meals is not just commendable but a beacon of what true leadership in philanthropy looks like. In the face of global food insecurity, this initiative by Feeding America, supported by such remarkable campaigns, SHOWS actionable love and kindness can indeed rewrite the stories of millions. Leveraging Giving Tuesday for such a vital cause amplifies the impact of individual contributions, making every dollar count significantly more. The decision to double match donations is a strategic move that not only incentivizes giving but also maximizes the reach and effectiveness of the fundraiser. As we dissect the mechanics of this campaign, it's the blend of ambitious goals, timely action, and leveraging communal support that sets a blueprint for successful philanthropic drives. It’s a powerful reminder that every small act of generosity contributes to a larger narrative of hope and resilience. Let’s all rally behind this cause and push the boundaries of what we can achieve together in creating a hunger-free world. Tony Robbins
One simple act of LOVE and KINDNESS can change someone’s entire day, week, or life. ❤️ This Giving Tuesday, I invite you to join us in coming together to bring hope and kindness to our brothers and sisters in need. It’s heartbreaking to know that food insecurity still impacts millions—children, families, and seniors alike—but together, we hold the power to rewrite that story. In 2015, in partnership with Feeding America, I launched the 1 Billion Meals Challenge and we met this extraordinary goal last year - two years ahead of schedule! While it’s incredible to celebrate providing 1 billion meals, there is still so much more work to be — I announced last year my overall goal to provide 100 billion meals worldwide. 🙌 This week, I invite you to join us in our ANNUAL GIVING TUESDAY FUNDRAISER benefiting Feeding America — it’s LIVE starting today! 💥 Through December 4th, we’ll DOUBLE MATCH every dollar donated via https://lnkd.in/gfe4MxmQ —meaning your generosity has TRIPLE the impact, up to a total match of $50,000. Here’s what that means: 🍽️ $1 = 10 meals for those in need. 🍽️ $10 = 300 meals with the double match. Every gift matters. Every meal matters. This is how we create a brighter, more compassionate world—one meal, one act of love at a time. Let’s come together as a community and FORCE FOR GOOD and show what’s possible when we lead with love and purpose. ❤️

December is more than just a month; it's a reminder. Not of what we've achieved, but of what we can give. Because in the end, it’s not about 'profits' or 'goals'—it’s about how we make others feel. Think about it: A kind word, a small act of kindness, a smile. These are the gifts that last. They cost nothing but mean everything. 💖 This December, let’s step out of our comfort zones. Let’s think about what we can offer to others—our colleagues, our communities. Not to get something in return, but because it’s the right thing to do. 🤝 In business, they say focus on the numbers. But I say, let’s focus on the people. Our teammates, our customers, the families who support us. Let’s show them we care. Because in the end, everything good begins with love for others. Here’s to a December full of generosity, gratitude, and actions that make a difference. You have the power to make the world a little brighter. Start today.
