Good Morning,

Let’s be honest — the world can feel heavy. There’s a lot we can’t control.

But there’s so much we can.

Every time we show up for someone else — whether through dollars, time or simple kindness — we shift something. We remind each other that hope is alive and community is strong.

And that’s worth giving a damn about.

✨ Two movements. One powerful week.

📅 What is Giving Tuesday? 2nd December

Giving Tuesday was founded in 2012 as a global movement that flips the script after Black Friday and Cyber Monday — turning the focus from consumption to generosity.

Since then, it has grown into a massive worldwide day of giving, where people, businesses and communities unite to share, support and act.

It’s a reminder: when we give, we don’t just help others — we create connections, solidarity and momentum.

🤝 What is International Volunteer Day? 5 December

Established by the United Nations in 1985, International Volunteer Day (5 December) recognises the contributions of volunteers across the globe.

It highlights how giving time and skills builds stronger, more inclusive societies.

From local clean-ups to mentoring programs, volunteers turn compassion into action.

Together — Giving Tuesday on 2 December and International Volunteer Day on 5 December — mark a meaningful moment: a week to give, then a week to show up.

Purpose is not a feel-good extra — it’s foundational.

People who feel connected to something bigger than themselves tend to be more motivated, more resilient, and more fulfilled at work and in life.

And kindness? It has a multiplier effect.

One act inspires another.

One volunteer brings many hands together.

One donation strengthens countless futures.

Giving a damn creates momentum — and movements.
