FROM OUR COVER STAR, Giovanna Fletcher, trekking 100km to raise money for breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel! to many of my friends committing to their first sponsored challenge this year, it seems everyone is adjusting to post-lockdown life by turning their attention to causes bigger than themselves. Whether it’s climbing a mountain or organising a cake sale, doing something for charity seems to be the thing to do.
It’s no wonder that lockdown has unearthed our altruistic side. After a tough year of social isolation, we’re itching to get out into the world and the thought of doing good and spreading cheer is a comfort. ‘If we can change things for others, we can experience change ourselves – it’s a cliche, but we can “be the change we want to see in the world”,’ says psychotherapist and mental health author Sharie Coombes.
