Fun fact

With cuts to services, government scandals and budgets tightened like never before, it can sometimes feel like everyone is just out for themselves nowadays. But in 2020, 62% of people in the UK gave to charity via a donation or regular sponsorship, which amounted to £11.3 billion in total for the year. Both volunteering and giving to charity have been proven to reduce stress levels, combat anxiety and depression and increase overall wellbeing by releasing dopamine in the brain. But perhaps most interesting of all, giving to a worthy cause is said to have the same effect on our wellbeing as we’d get if our salary was doubled! Worth thinking about...
