5 reasons why Sustainably is supporting positive mental health
Sustainably is a free app that lets you support your favourite causes by automatically rounding up cashless transactions and donating spare change each time you shop. It makes giving to good causes simple and hassle-free!
During this #StressAwarenessMonth, we wanted to highlight this amazing company and the many ways in which they are supporting positive mental health.
“At Sustainably we’ve been searching for ways to boost our wellbeing and happiness at work. Lockdown has been overwhelming for a lot of people. Sometimes, you just need a little bit of inspiration, so we’ve partnered with Sanctuary who are offering our charity partners access to their inclusive employee wellbeing service, free of charge. Not only that, but we support great causes like The Foundation for Positive Mental Health, who aim to help enhance everyday wellbeing, increase resilience to, and recovery from, mental health difficulties.”
- Loral Quinn, CEO and co-founder at Sustainably
5 reasons why Sustainably is supporting positive mental health
— by Maud, Social media, growth & partnerships at Sustainably
1. A supportive team
We have weekly meetings to catch up on what’s going on, but also how we are all coping with the lockdown! The whole team is currently working from home, so having people to talk to and ask for any help from is essential.
2. Raising awareness
This week we are hosting a challenge to share photos of your lockdown walks, as a reminder that getting outdoors and looking after your body and mind is essential to our wellbeing. Every week we raise awareness about topics we care about and highlight charities you can support on the app. From equality, to poverty, animal welfare, the environment and many others, we feel that it’s important to use our platform to raise awareness to the social issues that affect us all.
3. Mental Health causes on the app
Amongst all the wonderful charities you can choose to support on the Sustainably app, you will find mental health focused ones such as The Foundation for Positive Mental Health, as well as Venture Scotland and Edinburgh Leisure.
4. Flexible working
Some members of our team work on flexible hours, allowing them to continue with their studies, or to work on other projects. They have full support from our lovely co-founders, as well as clear roles and tasks to be sure everyone does the best they can.
5. Social good values
Our company’s philosophy is to spread kindness and help causes that support social good and the community. This definitely helps us to put our own life in perspective, as well as feeling good about what we’re working on! It is even said that people who report a greater interest in helping others are more likely to identify themselves as happy.
