Hi! Someone who works in the non-profit/charity sector!

At least in Canada, a lot of our non-profits have been suffering from inflation. For example, food bank operating costs have gone up by 25% while we’re seeing less food being put out due to shrink-flation.

I do strongly suggest reaching out to charities and non-profits because we need them more now than ever! My local food bank has almost doubled in attendees in less than a year (400 originally, now 1000).

Ontarian Non-Profits 2 Checkout:

• Hamilton Regional Indian Centre

An indigenous outreach I strongly support. They focus on our cultural healing, prenatal care, supporting Canadian Indigenous families and so so so so much more!

A lot of events are run through them as well if you’ve ever wanted to partake in pieces of Indigenous culture.

• Alzheimer’s Society of Ontario

Our country’s leading charity in Alzheimer’s education and the leads for trying to find a cure. Old people get neglected a lot and especially old people with this illness.

They support and fund activities for them as well, which is important for stimulating the mind!

• Knight’s Table

Traditional food bank, focuses in mostly on non-perishables. I’ve used this organization in the past and they made sure me and my family were looked after.

1/3 Kids are food bank users.

• Regeneration

Traditional food bank that also serves hot and fresh foods. Provides a clothing closet for homeless and underprivileged as well, paired with a station to gussy up for job interviews. Think of it as a food bank with DLC.

• Rainbow Railroad

LGBTQ+ foundation that focuses on bringing queer folk who’ve been victimized in their home countries here to Canada for asylum. There’s too many countries that fund and support violence against LGBTQ+ people. Rainbow Railroad aids in the immigration process and helps people of our community from around the world.

Conversion therapy and similar methods are still widely accepted and encouraged in certain parts of the world.

• CAMH (Canadian Association of Mental Health)

Mental health non-profit focused on providing humane and healing treatment to Canadians FREE of cost. They run psychiatric facilities both stay overnight and drop in. They also host a 24/7 Crisis Hotline for those in dire states. Furthermore, they run free mental health programs such as DBT, CBT, Talk-Therapy, Group Therapy, Addictions counseling and so much more.

CAMH received a lot of funding cuts back when COVID hit, paired with a huge influx of people needing to use their services. Still they continue to provide these services, though now with wait times due to funding.

I encourage you to research charities within your area and donate either money, supplies or funds to them! There’s a huge need for it. Thank you to everyone who has supported non-profits so far. I can promise you they use every cent.

It's Terry Pratchett Day. Let's all say 'thank you' to the amazing man who brought us Discworld, and to he who was half instrumental in bringing us our beloved ineffables along with Neil Gaiman.

GNU Terry Pratchett. Donate to Alzheimer's Research or to The Alzheimer's Society (or applicable local Alzheimer's charity) f you can. Drink a Banana Daquiri if you're of age. Read his books. Never forget him.

(I love Rincewind so much that my nan left her Rincewind ornament to me when she passed away btw. Just a fun fact~)

Calacus Monthly Hit & Miss – The FA & Amir Khan

Every month we look at the best and worst communicators in the sports world from the last few weeks.

HIT - THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION & THE ALZHEINMER’S SOCIETY

So much has been written in recent years about the risks of brain injury caused by head impacts in rugby and latterly by football.

A number of high profile deaths has prompted concerns about the long-term health of footballers who head the ball regularly.

Former England and West Bromwich Albion and England striker, Jeff Astle, died of dementia in 2002, aged just 59 with a coroner ruling that he was killed by his work as a footballer having scored a large number of headed goals.

Since then, a number of former footballers have been diagnosed with, or died of, dementia, and many of them have had that diagnosis linked to their careers.

Former Leeds and England defender Jack Charlton died in 2020 while Nobby Stiles died in 2020 and Ray Wilson in 2018 – all suffering from dementia. Jack’s brother, Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, is also a sufferer.

No wonder a group of former football, rugby league and rugby union players have been taking legal action claiming they suffered brain injuries playing their respective sports including relatives of Stiles.

Some research undertaken by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, published in the Lancet Public Health journal, found that footballers are 50% more likely to develop dementia than the rest of the population.

Its research found that 8.3 per cent of outfield footballers were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, compared to 5.1 per cent of the control group.

The study compared the health records of 6,000 elite footballers and more than 56,000 non-footballers between 1924 and 2019 and suggested that outfield footballers were 50 per cent more likely to develop dementia than the rest of the population.

The data shows concerning trends, so it is no surprise that in England, the Football Association is trialling banning children under 12 from heading the ball in certain grassroots competitions and leagues. If successful, it will apply to the International Football Association Board for a law change to remove heading for under-12s altogether.

Brain injury charity Headway criticised UEFA for not allowing concussion substitutes in the Women's Champions League after Arsenal and England's Beth Mead suffered a head injury against Ajax.

Luke Griggs, Headway’s chief executive, said: “It is important that football is willing to evolve as our understanding of the long-term implications of repeated sub-concussive impacts increases.

“We know enough now to make balanced, sensible adjustments to limit exposure to head impacts.” This includes “limiting of heading practice drills for adults, and complete bans on children heading the ball as they move through key stages in their physical and neurological development,” he added.

Perhaps, then, the official charity partnership between England’s Football Association and dementia charity The Alzheimer’s Society is a natural fit.

Recent activity around the England Lionesses’ match against Australia, to raise awareness and funds for dementia research and support by encouraging fans to donate, share their memories, and wear blue in support of the cause was executed brilliantly.

An estimated 850,000 people live with dementia in the UK (the writer also lost his Mum to dementia a few years ago), which is likely to increase to above 1 million by 2025.

By using the power of sport to drive positive social change, the campaign was able to create a sense of shared purpose and belonging among fans and players alike.

Most notably, players on both the England and Australia teams played without names on a third of their shirts to highlight the fact that one in three people could forget the name of their favourite player or treasured football memory.

Different players wore the nameless shirts after half-time, to further draw attention to the confusion and memory loss often experienced by those living with dementia, before being auctioned.

Fans were encouraged to engage with the stunt using the hashtag #TheForgottenThird.

Kate Lee, Alzheimer’s Society CEO, said: “Right now, there are too many people facing dementia alone and without the right support. With The FA’s backing and support, we can reach more people than ever before, and we can reach them sooner.

“The sport has an unrivalled ability to bring people and communities together, which is why we’re asking fans up and down the country to get behind this important cause and donate whatever they can, so no-one must face dementia alone.

“We hope by making this simple alternation with this gesture and getting both teams to show a sign of solidarity, we can put an important spotlight on just how much dementia can devastate lives.

“I hope it makes a massive impact from the stands to screens, inspiring people to donate so we can reach even more people with our life-changing support, which helps people through some of the hardest and most frightening times.”

Ahead of the game, 11-year-old Eve interviewed the Lionesses to discuss what football means to them and their experiences with dementia.

The international fixture was hosted at Brentford FC’s Gtech Community Stadium and saw the unveiling of a striking mural by sports correspondent Carrie Brown.

The large-scale art installation, designed and created by MurWalls, captured key moments of England Women’s football – with fans being encouraged to add their most unforgettable memories to the mural.

England coach Sarina Wiegman said: “Tonight was a chance for both sets of players to come together in recognition of the many people living with dementia and their families and friends who help them.

“I’m very proud to see our players again continue to use their platform to show support for important causes – I hope it inspires fans to donate and support Alzheimer’s Society’s important work.”

The social impact of the campaign, however, was significant. Over the past two seasons, the partnership has raised over £400,000, with thousands more fans, players and staff now knowing where to go to access vital dementia support.

The Alzheimer Society has created a sense of community and purpose around the cause, inspiring thousands of football fans to donate, share their stories, and engage with the issue of dementia in a meaningful way.

MISS – AMIR KHAN

Calacus had the pleasure of working with Amir Khan, who was supporting one of our clients, a few years ago.

Polite, helpful and professional, he was great with the attending media and helpful at every turn.

His boxing career speaks for itself. Khan unified world titles at super-lightweight and faced pound-for-pound stars Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Terence Crawford during a 40-fight career featuring 34 wins and six defeats.

He has also undertaken a great deal of charity work, launching his own Foundation supporting local business in his hometown of Bolton and disasters in the Philippines and the Indian Ocean Tsunami.

But Khan’s life has also been shrouded in controversy – with his private life being a popular topic for the tabloid newspapers as well as accusations regarding possible homophobic language and an armed robbery that saw Khan lose his expensive watch in East London last year.

In what proved to be his last fight, Khan lost to Kell Brook in the sixth round of their hotly anticipated bout in Manchester in February 2023.

Soon afterwards, he announced his retirement. "It's time to hang up my gloves," Khan, who turned professional in 2005, said on Twitter.

However, with the court case ongoing after the armed robbers were caught, Khan suffered a huge blow to his reputation when the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) banned him from all sport for two years.

The statement from UKAD Chief Executive Jane Rumble read: “This case serves as a reminder that UKAD will diligently pursue Anti-Doping Rule Violations in order to protect clean sport.

“Strict liability means Athletes are ultimately responsible for what they ingest and for the presence of any Prohibited Substances in a Sample. It is important that all Athletes and their support personnel, whatever level they are competing at, take their anti-doping responsibilities seriously. Not doing so risks damaging not only an Athlete’s career, but also undermining public confidence in clean sport.”

Khan had been informed that after his fight with Brook, samples had produced an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) for ostarine and after a hearing and an independent tribunal, despite proving that his usage was unintentional, Khan was suspended retrospectively.

In reality, while it has an impact on his sporting integrity – albeit minimal because of the small trace of ostarine in his system – his reputation has taken an unexpected knock.

UKAD’s statement indicated that Khan was aware of the verdict in late February this year, although they waited until early April to make the news public.

Armed with that information, Khan should have had a statement prepared explaining his version of events up to and including the ban – and kept in closer contact with UKAD to ascertain when the news was being released.

His failure to do that meant that a scheduled interview on Sky News with Kay Burley was hastily cancelled – while he was already getting ready in the studio.

Without the support of PR advisers, it gave the impression that Khan was blindsided by the timing of the announcement and unprepared when it came out.

Khan had the opportunity at Sky News to calmly give his side of the story – which he could and should have mentally prepared for in the weeks after discovering the UKAD verdict, let alone in the months since his adverse sample had been discovered.

There are occasionally times when “no comment” is the best approach, although those are increasingly rare given the media’s ability to either find alternative experts or use the ‘empty chair’ tactic to add further humiliation to a story.

But if Khan had been advised and supported properly, he could have addressed the situation head-on, with confidence and a clear message which both explained what had happened and what he planned to do about it.

As it was, he was ambushed by another Sky camera crew outside the Sky studios at Millbank, appearing to want to get away and then giving a confused and half-baked explanation which did more harm than good.

There was no manager, nor a PR adviser to support him and the fact that he said that he would write a statement shows how little thought had gone into dealing with this.

During his interview, Khan said: “I never cheated. I’m a retired fighter. At the same time you can see by my performance, my performance against Kell Brook wasn’t the best, I lost the fight. If I went in and knocked Kell Brook out it’s different.

“I’ve never cheated in my life. I’m the one who wanted the testing on the fight and also the amount that was in my system could have been by shaking people’s hand.

“I don’t know what drug was in my system. I’m a retired fighter so I’ve got a two-year ban now it’s quite strange and funny that they’ve rang me, I’m already retired anyway. No comeback plans at all but I’ve never cheated and I never will, that’s not something I would do.”

Promoter Ben Shalom, whose company Boxxer was representing Khan at the time of the Brook fight, admitted that he had no idea about the doping offence or subsequent tribunal.

“I called the board [British Boxing Board of Control] today when I saw it on social media and said, ‘Do you know about this?’ and they said, ‘I only found out yesterday,'” Shalom said.

“We didn’t even know there was a process. We didn’t even know [Khan] failed a test. It’s completely insane. And it’s dangerous.

“There should be no getting out of failing a drug test. It doesn’t matter whether it’s intentional, doesn’t matter what it was. That’s it. A strict liability ban. And it needs to be governed by a world governing body not multiple different people having different opinions with different rules. It is just communication and it’s bullshit. I’m shocked.”

Khan may have had no plans to return to the ring, but he could have minimised the damage to his reputation caused by this doping offence simply by having the foresight to prepare for the inevitable media interest when the story broke.

His initial response further underlines the importance of preparation for every scenario rather than wait until bad news comes out.

Notably, later that week, Khan did a sit-down interview with Sky Sports, having clearly taken the time to do the preparatory work which should have happened way earlier.

During the interview he said: “I don't know how it got into my system, maybe shaking hands, maybe sharing a drink with somebody. It was a big shock to me.

"It's such a tiny amount that was never of any benefit at all. I don't know how it got in there but I should've maybe taken a little bit more precaution. I'm very sorry about it.

“I can honestly say that I've always been a clean fighter. I've always been the type of person who's always asked to be drug tested.

“I don't want to be remembered for something like this, that'll hurt me a lot. If people remember me for just this incident that's happened then I think it'll always upset me because I know it was never done on purpose.

“Hopefully people believe me and maybe take more precaution, especially the young and upcoming fighters can learn from me how mistakes can happen.”

Time will tell whether the label of ‘drug cheat’ is used in reference to Khan, undoing so much of the good he has done for society and the sport of boxing.

His initial shambolic response to the drugs verdict revelations underlines further the need for crisis communications preparation.

Being reactive instead of proactive sets the narrative tone which is often tough to recover from.

What would your reaction be to a pilot program confining male comedians to safe asylums until they prove they are safe to interact with women and kids? Ideally they would be able to perform under guard and psychiatric supervision, and after a period of years a panel of social workers, doctors and women from the community would assess their compatibility with society at large.

I think you and anyone who thinks something like this is ok are fucking insane <3

Like seriously what the actual fuck. I'm fucking speechless. Not only is this a violation of privacy and several human rights, but this leads to an extremely slippery slope that could be used against people with disabilities as a bludgeon to weed them from the public. If it can be done because of a profession, it can also be done to the disabled, the mentally ill, the LGBT, people who are racial minorities, political dissenters, and literally anyone else.

Further more, what's the part you take issue with? The "male" part, or the "comedian" part? I'm willing to put good money that it's the former. Newsflash, women can be predators too.

Let's not forget the male comedians who have been involved in children's media or own or support charities for children or other issues like homelessness or illness:

Robin Williams - Batty in Fern Gully, Genie in Aladdin, Teddy Roosevelt in Night At The Museum, Peter Pan in Hook, Mrs. Doubtfire in Mrs. Doubtfire, Fender in Robots, Lovelace and Ramon in Happy Feet, Alan Parrish in Jumanji, and don't even get me started on his dramatic roles such as Good Will Hunting, Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poet's Society, etc.

The Electric Company - a cast of comedians working to boost children's literacy, including Bill Cosby (who later was revealed as a predator, but not towards children) and a then unknown Morgan Freeman

Comic Relief (BBC) - A charity telethon for children hosting many comedians

Comic Relief USA - A charity to fight homelessness in the US, also hosting comedians for events

Bob Saget - founder of Scleroderma Research Foundation after his sister died from the diesease

Jerry Seinfeld - founded and supports charities

Eddie Murphy - Donkey in Shrek and known participant in Feeding America and the Yeah! Foundation

Seth Rogen - leader of Hilarity for Charity, which supports Alzheimer's Reasearch

Ken Jeong - Recipiant of the Visionary Award and donated $50,000 after the Atlanta spa shooting

Jeff Foxworthy - works to fight homelessness in the Atlanta area and won the 2018 humanitarian award from the rotary club of buckhead. Also supports wildlife and wild space preservation

Ricky Gervais - Leader of Red Nose Day in the UK (read: Comic Relief)

Owen Wilson - coastal preservation, AIDS research, arts education, raised money for Elephant Families and Space for Giants

Tyler Perry - The Perry Foundation

Dwayne Johnson - The Rock Johnson Foundation among several other charities

Will Ferrell - UNICEF, Cancer for College, AIDS charities, charities for childhood diabetes

Jimmy Kimmel - ALS Drives, Feast of San Gennaro

Kevin Bacon - SixDegrees.com and their works

And so many fucking more but I trust my point is made

A little teaser of a special project - this is a Frostgrave diorama which will be the prize in a charity draw for Alzheimer's Society.

It's been months in the planning and preparation, but I have only recently been well enough to actually get started on it. I have been in liaison with my regional AS fundraising rep, Nick Eyre at North Star, and Tim of Miniature Heroes (who has built me a custom walnut plinth for the piece.

I'm writing a thread to document the building and painting process over on Twitter, which may end up being published in article form elsewhere.

Really enjoying it so far, and I should have an update/details on the draw in the coming weeks

Charities and Non-Profits Dedicated to Supporting Seniors

Introduction

In the tapestry of society, seniors are the threads that weave the rich history and wisdom of our communities. As they gracefully navigate the golden years of their lives, some may find themselves facing financial hardships, health challenges, or loneliness. Fortunately, a variety of charities and nonprofits have emerged, each with a unique mission to provide vital support to seniors in need. This article sheds light on these organizations, highlighting their efforts in offering financial assistance, healthcare support, and other essential resources to empower our senior citizens.

The Health Benefits of Fasting: Insights from Surah Mulk

Fasting, a practice observed in various cultures and religions, has garnered attention not only for its spiritual significance but also for its potential health benefits. From weight management to improved metabolic health, fasting has been linked to numerous positive outcomes. In Islamic tradition, fasting during the month of Ramadan is not only a religious obligation but also a time for self-reflection and spiritual growth. Surah Mulk, found in the Quran, provides insights that resonate with the health benefits associated with fasting, offering valuable lessons for both physical and spiritual well-being.

Fasting, particularly intermittent fasting, has gained popularity in recent years due to its potential to promote weight loss and improve metabolic health. By restricting the window of time during which food is consumed, intermittent fasting can lead to reduced calorie intake and increased fat burning. Studies have shown that intermittent fasting may also enhance insulin sensitivity, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce inflammation, all of which contribute to a lower risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Surah Mulk, the 67th chapter of the Quran, emphasizes the importance of self-discipline and gratitude. It encourages believers to reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth and to recognize the signs of Allah's power and wisdom. This reflection fosters a sense of humility and gratitude, qualities that are integral to both spiritual and physical well-being. Similarly, fasting instills discipline and self-control, helping individuals develop a deeper appreciation for the blessings in their lives.

Moreover, fasting has been shown to have profound effects on brain health. Research suggests that fasting may promote the growth of new nerve cells and increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports cognitive function and mood regulation. Fasting has also been linked to a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Surah Mulk encourages believers to ponder the marvels of the natural world and to use their intellect to recognize the signs of Allah's existence. This intellectual stimulation is akin to the cognitive benefits associated with fasting, as both practices promote mental clarity and acuity.

Furthermore, fasting has been shown to have anti-aging effects at the cellular level. Studies have demonstrated that fasting activates autophagy, a process by which cells remove damaged components and recycle them for energy. This cellular cleansing mechanism helps to rejuvenate cells and tissues, potentially extending lifespan and slowing the aging process. Surah Mulk reminds believers of the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death. This reflection serves as a reminder to prioritize actions that bring long-term benefit, both in this life and the hereafter. Similarly, fasting encourages individuals to adopt healthy habits that promote longevity and vitality.

In addition to its physical benefits, fasting has a profound impact on spiritual well-being. It fosters a sense of empathy and compassion for those who are less fortunate, as fasting teaches individuals to experience hunger and thirst firsthand. Surah Mulk emphasizes the importance of serving others and fulfilling one's responsibilities to society. This altruistic spirit is reinforced through acts of charity and kindness, which are central to the practice of fasting during Ramadan.

In conclusion, fasting offers a multitude of benefits for both physical and spiritual health. From weight management to brain health to anti-aging effects, fasting has been shown to promote overall well-being. Surah Mulk provides valuable insights that parallel the health benefits associated with fasting, emphasizing the importance of self-discipline, gratitude, and reflection. By incorporating fasting into their routine, individuals can enhance their physical health, cultivate spiritual growth, and align themselves with the teachings of the Quran.
