Why should I give?
In a nutshell, when we give to a cause that we are passionate about, it makes us feel good. Giving will not only have a positive impact in your community, but it has emotional wellbeing effects, it strengthens our personal values, teaches our children the importance of generosity and encourages others to do the same.
Remember though, there are many ways to give: whether it is in the form of cash donations, volunteering time, donating business goods, or sitting on a committee or being a local leader or organiser of a fundraising event, all forms of giving are good for the heart and soul.
Together we thrive.
