Since joining Prosperity 24/7, I've come to realise that there's not much that brings us together like a good Love to Ride challenge. We managed to top our respective leaderboards in the recent May challenge, although Greener Kirkcaldy gave us an excellent run for our money. We got new people involved in the challenge, we saved an estimated 546lb CO2 through cycling instead of driving and as well as cheering on our usual stalwarts, I also discovered which colleagues will come through last thing on a Friday and undertake a round-the-island-cycle for the extra miles... Sure, winning is fun but what's really nice is to see the behaviour changes starting to take root in the segment of our company that aren't die-hard cyclists (and I include myself in that). Last September I noted that I'm a reluctant cyclist but I'm becoming less reluctant and more willing to do that commute by bicycle. I've also noticed our bike store becoming busier and less frequent cyclists populating the Love to Ride feed more often. That's no mean feat. As someone who deals with change while delivering projects, change isn't always easy to embed but I've always been a fan of gamification as motivation in the right settings. And one of those right settings will be Prosperity Day in September, when our colleagues and clients will compete for bragging rights but also for the much better reason of raising money for charity - this year, we're supporting Healing Waves UK and Jersey Hospice Care - two very deserving charities. So, if you want to do your part, why not sign up for or donate to the tenth Prosperity Day? https://lnkd.in/eFAaUGGf #Lovetoride #change #prosperityday #healingwaves #hospice #charity #cycling

Captain of Sales 🛟 Tomorrow, two teams from Venturn are gearing up for a special challenge: Captain of Sales. Through our participation we dedicate ourselves to a cause that is dear to us: the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij (KNRM)). 💙 Our mission is clear: we aim to raise as many donations as possible for the KNRM, enabling them to carry out their crucial work safely and with proper resources. Your support truly makes a difference. 🏆 During Captain of Sales, we undertake challenging tasks. The better we perform, the more money the KNRM receives. But there's more: the ultimate winner is determined not only by task performance but also by the amount of donations raised. ⚓️ Your contribution can help us send a powerful message to the KNRM, demonstrating how much we value their work. Whether it's a small or large donation, every euro counts and brings us closer to our common goal. Donate through these links: Team Caroline & Bjørn: https://lnkd.in/eG4MhxHs Team Dirk & Britt: https://lnkd.in/exqfwZBS Want to learn more about Venturn's relationship with the KNRM?

Charity is always something I feel so passionate about, it is moments of charity from kind people towards me in the past, that have allowed me to realise there was hope in the world even in some of the darkest days. 💖 Even before this I always felt an innate desire to fundraise having fundraised from a young age (as young as junior school) for different charities. When I was about 9 I led a project in Junior School to fundraise for RSPCA When I was about 13 I petitioned for a non-school uniform day in aid of Teenage Cancer trust When I was 15 I project managed a fun-day event in my enterprise group to raise over £1000 profit for Comic Relief I have just kept finding moments to help others since then. But what truly showed me that there were so many people who felt the same innate desire to help others is when some lovely people who were complete strangers to me turned up at my door the year I fled a violent relationship with a baby and toddler, with a whole grocery shop and some gifts to help make Christmas a bit easier for me. I was kind of in shock that people were being so nice to me, but also just so full of gratitude and hope for the world. I now know that as long as the opportunity is presented to children and adults alike, we all have an innate desire to help others, and I want to ensure my business is an environment that fosters that desire. #charity #business #womeninbusiness #education #childcare #childhood #teachers #enterpreneurs #fundraising
