Week 37: Join a community

In October you’ll be hearing from our partners at Better Not Stop. Better Not Stop are a sustainability impact agency, helping purpose-driven businesses to implement strategies, policies and frameworks like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, B Corp Certification and Carbon Literacy to increase their revenue, customer base and employee retention.

This week we’re asking you to join a community. It could be ours, the Better Business Network, XR, Just Stop Oil, or a local charity or campaign.

Seek out like minded people, make connections and feel the shared strength and knowledge of peers and others who care. Ask: What help do they need? What time and help can you bring to the table?

There are countless communities - find the one that really speaks to you - do you want to start hyper local, working in your local community? Do you care more about affecting system change in your industry? 

Partner up with those in your chosen community - you don’t have to do everything yourself and by getting involved and finding out what others are doing, you can lend strength as part of a greater collective, as well as stopping you fruitlessly duplicating effort.

Fighting the good fight is tiring, joining a community can give you a place to share thoughts, feelings and experiences with those who are more likely to have shared understanding of what you’re experiencing.

Align your choice with something you care deeply about. This weeks action is to find a community, join in and get involved.
