🎁 Supporting the Portsmouth Toy Appeal 🎁
We are excited to share that we will be taking part in the Portsmouth Toy Appeal this year! 🎄✨
We are honoured to support this wonderful initiative and make a difference in our community.
We look forward to welcoming Ian Gwenlan, the Portsmouth North Salvation Army Corps Leader, who will be visiting our office to collect the gifts donated by our team. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful cause

This weekend I saw a lot businesses posting "Happy Memorial Day!" content.
"Come out to Rudy's Bar and celebrate the long holiday weekend with us, we're selling $5 orange crushes all day long!"
Memorial Day is to remember the hundreds of thousands of military members who gave the ultimate sacrifice and never came home to their families. Asking people to come to your restaurant to "celebrate the holiday" feels really wrong for Memorial Day. Are we forgetting what it's really about?
Here are a few ways you can post on social or email your customers about Memorial Day that honors the military members and their families:
1. Share a link to an organization that helps families of fallen soldiers asking for donations, like the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation
2. Donate 10% of your proceeds on Memorial Day to a reputable organization like the Wounded Warrior Project
3. Highlight a veteran who works at your company and thank them for their service
4. Offer a 20% discount to all active military members to thank them for their service
5. Be like Born Primitive (pictured below) and don't ask anything of your customers, simply post about Memorial Day in a way that honors the fallen. They also shared a really great video on their Instagram and Facebook pages to remind everyone of the true meaning of Memorial Day. Please take a moment to watch it, I'll link it in the comments.

Saying you're Veteran Friendly as an employer is about more than just hiring a few veterans for street credit. It's recognizing their exceptional skills that align with your needs. But is that enough? I believe companies should support military/veteran non-profits, too! If you're not matching donations to mil-vet nonprofits made by your employees within your corporate matching program, are you truly supporting military/veterans or just your organizational needs with skilled military/veteran talent? Something to think about.
Do more. Be better. Match.

SERVICE!!!
No one is too small to serve...
Most times we wait for bigger stage to serve
It has become important to teach our young ones the importance of service as we did last week
Service can take many forms, including:
👉 Customer Service: Supporting customers with products or services.
👉 Community Service: Volunteering to benefit local communities.
👉 Public Service: Working in government or non-profit organizations.
👉 Military Service: Serving in the armed forces.
👉 Selfless Service: Putting others' needs before one's own.
Today we are reminded to serve at whatever capacity we can.
Hope Raisers Global Foundation has continuously rendered a selfless service to many underserved communities.
You can also join them in this service.

The change from military to civilian life can be tough. This is made even harder when it wasn't your choice, and happened due to situations out of your control - such as injury, illness or mental health battles.
There can be so much to navigate. Not only adapting to life with injury and illness that can bring limitations, but also trying to find a new direction, a new sense of purpose. A new normal.
The SWV support pathways can be the first stage to change. This is an opportunity that opens doors to further support. To find out more, please follow the link below...

Are you looking for a non-profit to support this #GivingTuesday?
I'd like to shout-out Stronghold Food Pantry, which was founded by my sister-in-law Monica Bassett. Stronghold is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) charitable organization serving American military families facing food insecurity with care and dignity by providing food, necessities, and resources.
📣 Why does the work Stronghold do matter? 📣 Approximately 24% of active-duty service members and their families in the US military experience food insecurity, meaning they do not have access to sufficient food to meet their basic needs. You can read more about why Monica started Stronghold in this article: https://lnkd.in/eWGGCCWk
💵 Details to donate 💵 If you're interested, you can donate two ways:
1. directly via the website (https://lnkd.in/dhCAumjg)
2. support their Angel Tree program via this Amazon wishlist (https://lnkd.in/e8KqmKXY)
Ahead of #ArmedForcesDay, we are proud to release this touching video featuring bereaved military children and young people sharing their personal stories of loss, pride, and the invaluable support they've received from Scotty's.
Each year, around 2,100 children and young people experience the death of a parent that served in the British Armed Forces. These new statistics highlight the urgent need for support.
🎥 Watch Their Stories 🎥
These incredible children speak openly about their pride in their parents' service and how Scotty’s has helped them through their toughest times. Their bravery and resilience are truly inspiring.

#ScottysLittleSoldiers#SupportOurHeroes#MilitaryFamilies#DonateNow
The numbers are staggering: 2022 saw the highest number of active-duty suicides in recent history, with rates increasing by over 40% in the past five years. 💔 Our military communities need support now more than ever. That’s why the Military Mile Project is here—and it’s a game-changer. 💪🇺🇸
This powerful initiative will train 2,000 service members across 10 military bases, equipping them to support 6,000 peers with trauma-informed care and resilience-building strategies. Through three 90-minute sessions, these soldiers will learn to combat stigma, navigate tough conversations, and provide hope to those who need it most.
Join us in this fight to protect our heroes—because no one should fight alone. Every donation brings us closer to empowering those who serve.
