Insurance for Living has Joined B1G1

One of my biggest joys in life has always been contribution. And here at Insurance for Living, we’ve always believed that businesses have the power to change lives. 

That’s why we’ re very proud to let you know we’ve become a Partner with Buy1GIVE1 (or B1G1). It’s an amazing organisation which lets us align everything we do to giving back in the most impactful of ways.
 

Just as one simple example ? Whenever people take out a new policy with us, five ? yes 5 ? families in Kenya will each be getting a goat ? yes that's right ? a goat! And that goat will give them a sustainable income for life.
 

It costs you nothing. But it makes such a difference. It’s just a great feeling to be giving as you know.

And now, when you take out a policy, your family is well protected and another 5 families get sustained. We think it’s what being in business is about ? Changing lives.

We also encourage other businesses to join B1G1 and help raise funds today!

Thank you for playing a part in making it happen.

NSW CANCER COUNCIL

Cancer Council NSW is a community funded, community focused cancer charity dedicated to the defeat of cancer.

Through the development of prevention strategies, research into new treatments and cures, and by providing clinical and emotional support to those affected by cancer, we work towards realising our vision of a society where lives are not cut short by, or their quality diminished by cancer.

We have the broadest reach of any cancer organisation in New South Wales and have been a trusted cancer charity for more than 50 years.

Much of our success is based on our ability to work in collaborative partnership across many areas of the Community.

Cancer Council has recently formed a partnership with Wayne W Lennan Financial Services to provide a service reviewing personal insurances.

At the time of a cancer diagnosis the last thing anyone needs to worry about is their financial situation. Personal insurances can help to alleviate this worry.

Cancer Council will promote this service through their networks and if an individual decides to take out a policy Wayne W Lennan Financial Services will donate $100 to the Cancer Council. Also, if a review is undertaken and they can't save the client any money, they will also donate $100.

This partnership has benefits for both parties, but more importantly for individuals who will have the peace of mind to know they have financial coverage should they ever have a diagnosis of cancer.

WANTED: 10,000 Australians to lend a helping hand

Aritcle by Christie Birch

Child sponsorship is one of those subjects that raise various opinions around the "water cooler".  The most common comment I hear is "there are people in need in our own country".  While this may be true it's worth noting the same people that use this retort to justify their decision not to sponsor usually don't contribute to any charity, not even the local ones!



My family and I have sponsored 2 children overseas through World Vision for nearly 10 years.  Sponsorship has not only made us feel like we are helping to make the world a better place but it has taught our children to appreciate how lucky they are to live in Australia and have the opportunities most kids take for granted.

The other popular objection is "I would but I can't afford it".  When we first sponsored our kids we were living on one income and had just bought our first home.  I know lot's of people who use this argument who are much better off than we are or are ever likely to be.  Child sponsorship is about $43 per month which isn't a lot when you think about how much we spend a month on coffee, morning tea or lunch at work.

Your money not only helps your child with their education and medical needs but some of it is also contributed to community projects such as agricultural education, wells and water pumps and medical facilities.

Our own children have grown up alongside our sponsored children and our family always looks forward to the annual updates and new photos of our sponsored kids. They have become an extension of our family and one day I hope that we will have the opportunity to visit them and to see first hand how we have helped them and the communities they live in.

If you have ever considered sponsoring a child now is the time.  World Vision are currently looking for 10,000 sponsors.  You can pick your own child or you can let them pick one for you.  There is a wealth of information on the World Vision website including stories from the children, sponsors and about the difference sponsorship has made in communities all over the world.

Visit World Vision and help to make the world a better place for one child.  Don't forget to share this with your friends too!
