Did you know that we all have something to give? We call these gifts! When we are able to give our gifts to communities we care about, not only do we feel warm and fuzzy, we feel more connected to others and can brighten other people’s days too!
We invite you for a chat about the different ways we can give back to the people or communities we care about. It could look like helping out a neighbour or a volunteer role - there is no such thing as a contribution that is too big or too small.
𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:
💛 What do you care about?
🤗 How might you share what you care about with others?
🔎 How Befriend, or other organisations in the community, could support you to do that!
Not sure what you have to contribute? Don’t worry! We are all on this journey together and there is no pressure to make any decisions - just a space for exploration.
There will be time for chatting and connecting so we can learn from each other too.
