Goldie It Forward refers to a program of charitable events that we will organize or support in our communities, with an aim to create a ripple effect of kindness that will help build trust and strengthen personal relationships in the world. It can be in the forms of volunteering time, sharing one's expert knowledge or simply be a sponsor of the event.
Seniors are precious resources in our society. Through the program, our seniors may lead the community by examples by making the best use of their experiences and knowledge for the benefits of others. We hope that many recipients of our seniors' good deeds will in turn do the same, making differences in each other's life and enhancing goodness in the world.
Kindness, altruism and empathy have been proven to affect the brain and improve mental well being. Activities such as volunteering provide a sense of meaning in life, which promotes happiness, well being, and health.
Research has revealed that seniors who volunteer regularly exhibit greater life satisfaction and reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety.
One study showed that making a charitable donation activates the brain's reward system, similar to the feeling when actually receiving money. *
When we see other needs, our patrons will bind together and step up to support our communities.
