We think a lot about memory at Magic Me. Delivering our arts programmes in care homes, we are often working with residents whose memories have been affected by age and illness, so we devise activities which are properly meaningful for people with those varying degrees of memory impairment. When we put together our intergenerational community projects for under 18s and over 60s, we are conscious that everyone has a past, a present and an imagination. We don’t just expect our older participants to consider their lifetimes’ experiences and pass them down to our younger participants. We want our 7 year olds to tell our 82 year olds about their memories and capture them in a piece of art - and likewise, the 82 year olds to formulate their ideas for the future with the 7 year olds. This week is Remember A Charity in Your Will Week. As part of our long term legacy fundraising strategy, we are unfolding a gentle social media campaign during this week with memory at its heart. ‘Remember when?’ we ask, posting images and reflections of some our most successful past programmes, and tagging in Remember A Charity #RememberACharityWeek #legacy #giftsinWills. We then connect people to our own legacy information page and the practical details involved in naming a charity in your will. Find out more about Remember a Charity Week here: https://lnkd.in/dxp9cdb And find our legacy information page here: https://lnkd.in/e8ig8Kj3 To see what we've been up to on our socials this week, follow us on all channels @MagicMeArts

Next Community Event A FREE and by donation community event with Autistic Revolution About the Event: EFT Tapping with Lindsay Guttridge of Emotional Freedom Techniques, July 10th, 7- 8.30 pm on zoom To learn more about the event and to secure your place, please visit the Eventbrite link in comments. Please note that there are 2 ticket options at check out. One is a free ticket and one is if you are in the position to make a donation. Donations are a 'pay it forward' and cover the cost to run the next AR community event. In addition, Eventbrite's newer way of dealing with tickets is that I have to separate out 'free' and 'by donation' tickets and this means the limited tickets are allocated into one of two categories. More are in the 'free' category. *Edited to Add* [Please note that spaces are limited due to finances and also to ensure that we can hold the space for everyone. Eventbrite forces hosts to separately categorize types of tickets. Meaning, there are free tickets but also some 'by donation' tickets. Since I do this as an unpaid volunteer with no funds, I do need to keep some tickets as 'by donation' as those donations pay the person coming into the event.] - - - ID: Poster for the event and it looks like it is inside someone's family room.

I help founders build revenue growth, clients & personal brands 🔥 From 0 → $10M ARR | Startup Advisor & Builder 📈 ex-Stryker & ex-Headspace 🦄 | Founder: TN10D
Why I'm investing in our local community. It's simple really: Success without succession is failure. Here's what I've learned: • Local impact creates lasting change • Inspiring youth shapes the future • Small actions compound over time Last year: Young adults I mentored years ago are now starting their own businesses. That's the real ROI. The ripple effect: 1. Support one person 2. They lift up another 3. Community grows stronger This isn't charity. It's legacy building. It’s multi-generational contribution. Want to make a difference? Join me at CBI Boca: [ https://lnkd.in/euDqpxSX ] What impact will you create today? #CommunityImpact #Legacy #GiveBack

All change starts with the first step - and whether that change is actual "change" or a change in your mindset, good happens when people realize that acting together creates meaningful results. Think about it, if we have ten people donating $10 over 12 months (10 x 10 x 12 = $1,200) and if we have ten Power of 10 Circles doing this... that's $12,000; add in a several Circles that are donating $25 each month for $2,500, and that could be $20K or more for scholarships! This will make a difference to many people who can then be provided scholarships!! The scholarship application window is open till November 30 (https://lnkd.in/g2mQYbV3).

Ever thought giving is only for the rich? Let's bust that myth. 80% of Americans actively give to causes they care about. Yet many still believe they're not "qualified" to be philanthropists. Let's shatter some common myths about giving: "I'm not rich enough to give" Truth: Philanthropy isn't about wealth. It's about the love of humanity. Even $10 can create meaningful change. "Small donations don't matter" Reality: Every contribution counts. When combined with others, small gifts create a massive impact. Real-world example: Our Power of 10 program proves this. Just 10 people giving $10 monthly funds a registration scholarship for IAAP Summit attendance. Giving takes many forms: • Supporting local schools • Contributing to places of worship • Volunteering at food banks • Helping community events • Making small monthly donations Here's what matters: • Your intention to help • Consistency over amount • Being part of collective change • Following your heart The simple truth? You don't need to be wealthy to make a difference. Sometimes it's as simple as choosing between buying lunch or bringing it from home and donating that difference. 🔘 What's holding you back from giving? 🔘 Share your thoughts below #Philanthropy #Community #Giving #SocialImpact

Did you know that the free, online magazine @Autistic Revolution is run by unpaid volunteers? Thanks to donations, we have had help to pay the monthly costs in running this resource. We have put in for charity status (and so fingers crossed for more stable financial support) but in the meantime, I'd like to share the magazine's Just Giving page. Thanks so much and we look forward to sharing issue 3 with you soon :) - - - ID. An image with teal background. At top and in white is 'Just Giving Fundraiser'.
