One of the major issues facing governments is the care and safety of all ages but in particular the elderly face specific challenges which need addressing. Whilst a roof over their heads, food on the table and heat are vital, so is interaction with the world. In Ireland there are some great organisations offering support for the elderly particular for life online in the form of free computer courses. So important as in our modern world many functions have moved away from face to face including utilities, banking and where buying groceries and other necessities ordering online is becoming more prevalent. This opens the door to scammers and there are far too many stories of elderly users falling prey to them. I would like to see more targeted marketing to the elderly to encourage a much bigger uptake to the courses on offer.

Why should you wait to be invited into First Nations communities and spaces? 💌 For a number of reasons, but these are a couple that stand out to me. 1. Our culture is strongly based on respect for each other. Especially when we crossed across borders and communities. Hence a “Welcome to Country”. Formal ceremonies took place as a process of seeking permission and to pay respects to the traditional custiodians. For 60,000+ years we sought permission when moving into spaces foreign to us. Being invited in is a practice ingrained in us. We shouldn’t stop now! 2. Colonisation created a healthy level of mistrust in those around us. The genocide and violence from the start meant our relationships have been strained from the very beginning. We crave safety and it can be shown to us through actions like being gentle when looking to be invited in. Finally, please don’t be offended when your goodwill doesn’t come with an invite. Sometimes it just may be appropriate to walk beside or behind a First Nations person, so they can safely guide these interactions!

Yes very good vivid storytelling creating a visual impact - which makes it more meaningful and memorable .

Celebrate the 4th safely this year. Hand and eye injuries due to fireworks send people to the emergency room every year over the Independence Day Holiday. In order to ensure you can return to work without incident, follow these tips: 🧨Always light fireworks on the ground and never in your hands. 🧨Never put your face over fireworks when lighting them. 🧨Do not use fireworks when intoxicated or impaired. 🧨Follow the directions on packaging. 🧨Do not allow small children to use fireworks. Sparklers burn at 2,000° F and account for 25% of fireworks related emergency room visits. Your best bet is to leave it to the professionals. Search to find where there is a fireworks show in your community. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇲

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, a day of reflection and celebration. For those of us in US #nonprofit and #philanthropy spaces, it can also be a time to consider the intersection of our work and Native communities and causes. Consider these stats from Native Americans in Philanthropy and Candid (https://lnkd.in/erwKmBi): ◼ From 2002 to 2016, large US foundations gave, on average, 0.4% of total annual funding to Native American communities and causes ◼ 20% of large foundations give to Native communities and causes. Even among this specific group, most give only one or two grants. ◼ The majority of grant dollars are for program support (56%); only 15% goes to general operating support 💡 Important takeaways for improving support include providing long-term general operating support to Native-led organizations, and pursuing Native-led solutions.
