Famous philanthropists<br />

Donations and charity work by the rich and famous<br />

The rich and famous certainly seem to have it<br />

all these days. They have a yearly income that<br />

some of us can only dream of. However, we<br />

rarely hear about all the good that certain<br />

millionaires and billionaires have done or are<br />

constantly doing. That’s why we’ve compiled a<br />

list of the most generous wealthy people who<br />

are donating and giving back on an epic scale.<br />

Bill Gates<br />

It has been reported that he donated $4.6<br />

billion worth of Microsoft shares to the Bill and<br />

Melinda Gates Foundation to combat malaria<br />

and improve healthcare around the world. His<br />

wife Melinda and fellow billionaire Warren<br />

Buffett started The Giving Pledge, inspiring<br />

people to use their money for the greater good.<br />

Leonardo DiCaprio<br />

Being one of the highest paid film stars of his<br />

time, Leonardo gives a healthy sum of it away<br />

to many worthy causes who care for the<br />

environment, conservation and human rights.<br />

Oprah Winfrey<br />

When it comes to giving Oprah Winfrey is never<br />

far away. Her charity work includes establishing<br />

a school in South Africa for girls, providing<br />

grants to non-profit organisations and donating<br />

to charities. And if that wasn’t enough she runs<br />

a program to inspire young people to bring<br />

hope to their own communities.<br />

Elton John<br />

A knighthood for Sir Elton John was to<br />

recognise all his good work and donations to<br />

various charities, including his work through the<br />

Elton John AIDS Foundation. Established by his<br />

good self in 1992, working to rid the world of<br />

this terrible disease.<br />

44


Nicki Minaj<br />

In today’s music industry Nicki Minaj continues<br />

to dominate the charts and will no doubt be<br />

paid well for her hard work, but little do we<br />

know that she has a<br />

scholarship program to<br />

help students with their<br />

debt, alongside that,<br />

rumored to of paid off<br />

student loans and<br />

donated to an indian<br />

village for numerous<br />

years.<br />

J.K. Rowling<br />

Being knocked off the billionaires list due to<br />

giving too much of her own money away to<br />

charity may not be so bad after all, as she was<br />

the first writer to make it to the list. As well as<br />

writing she runs a charitable trust called Volant.<br />

Involving a variety of causes with a strong<br />

emphasis on women and children.<br />

The rich and famous<br />

are changing lives<br />

and making a<br />

difference.<br />

George Michael<br />

Donating millions to charities, secretly<br />

volunteering at a homeless shelter and giving<br />

money to strangers was normal for the troubled<br />

star George Michael.<br />

Reports of five figure sums<br />

were given to many well<br />

known charities and<br />

donated to a Deal or No<br />

Deal contestant seeking<br />

money to pay for IVF<br />

treatment. Since his death<br />

we are discovering more<br />

about his philanthropic life<br />

style and will be recognised not only for his<br />

numerous hits but as an individual who did<br />

some wonderful acts of kindness and will<br />

remain in the hearts of many.<br />

Ellen DeGeneres<br />

Ellen DeGeneres could easily be renamed Ellen<br />

the Generous. According to She Knows, the<br />

Dolly Parton<br />

Not just a great pair of lungs. Dolly’s talents<br />

don’t stop when she hangs up the mic. Dolly has<br />

helped many people get their lives back on track<br />

after natural disasters, provided scholarships,<br />

donated to medical centres and continues to<br />

send millions of books each year to young<br />

children through her Dollywood Foundation.<br />

hilarious talk-show host has donated thousands<br />

to causes ranging from rebuilding schools to<br />

saving elephants. She donated $1 million to a<br />

disaster relief after Hurricane Harvey. She also<br />

uses her fame to raise more money for charity,<br />

as her famous Oscar selfie raised $3 million from<br />

Samsung, which went to St. Jude’s Children’s<br />

Hospital and The Humane Society.<br />

Cloudy2Clear Announce<br />

Trusted Trader Partnership<br />

Consumer champions<br />

Which? have now<br />

joined the thousands of<br />

customers who recognise<br />

that Cloudy2Clear<br />

Windows really are a<br />

business that you can<br />

TRUST. The company<br />

which specialises in<br />

repairing windows which<br />

are steamed up, broken<br />

or damaged by replacing<br />

the panes – not the frames<br />

has received the coveted<br />

‘Which Trusted Trader’<br />

status after going through<br />

a rigorous accreditation<br />

process entirely focussed<br />

on customer service.<br />

Group Managing<br />

Director Marcus McGee<br />

believes that Which? have<br />

endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s<br />

long standing company<br />

policy of delivering the<br />

highest standards possible<br />

at all times. ‘Our service<br />

is simple. If your double<br />

glazing has misted up we<br />

can replace the glass at a<br />

fraction of the cost of a<br />

new window, in any type<br />

of frame, and with a new<br />

25 year guarantee. But<br />

it’s not just about saving<br />

people money, although<br />

that obviously helps. Whilst<br />

a number of tradespeople<br />

perhaps don’t focus on<br />

customer care as much as<br />

they should do, we make<br />

sure we turn up when we<br />

say we will, do the job the<br />

customer requires and leave<br />

their house as clean as a<br />

whistle.<br />

Locally Cloudy2Clear<br />

service Billericay,<br />

<br />

Hutton Mount, Ingatestone,<br />

Ingrave & Herongate and<br />

manager Chris Miller<br />

agrees that this approach<br />

is a major factor in his<br />

success. ‘The truth is that<br />

it’s not just the personal<br />

satisfaction that I get from<br />

doing a good job but also it<br />

makes good business sense.<br />

I get a huge amount of<br />

business from friends and<br />

family of people I’ve done<br />

work for, which just goes<br />

to show how much a little<br />

bit of effort is appreciated<br />

as both my customers<br />

and, obviously a body as<br />

nationally important as<br />

Which? now recognise.’<br />

steamed up, broken or<br />

damaged give Chris a call<br />

BLUE FLOWER CAFE<br />

A Dementia Carers<br />

Group who offer support<br />

and advice to those<br />

caring for a loved one,<br />

drawing from their own<br />

experiences.<br />

Do you feel isolated? As<br />

if others don’t<br />

understand how your<br />

lives have changed? Try<br />

our support group, we<br />

know exactly what you<br />

are going through, and will understand.<br />

We may not solve everything but talking<br />

and sharing reassures and comforts.<br />

You are not alone.<br />

We meet twice a month between<br />

10:30am and 12:00pm.<br />

1st Wednesday - Hutton Community<br />

Centre, Harrison Close - 5th Sep, 3rd Oct,<br />

7th Nov, 5th Dec.<br />

3rd Monday - M&S Café, Brentwood High<br />

Street - 17th Sep, 15th Oct, 19th Nov,<br />

17th Dec.<br />

We set up the café as there was<br />

absolutely no other group with the<br />

information that we had accumulated in<br />

either our heads or leaflets over the<br />

many years.<br />

Between us both we have over 10 years<br />

experience with people on the Dementia<br />

journey, and we felt we should share it.<br />

We have been meeting for just 2 1/2<br />

years and are filling a huge hole in our<br />

Community for many 'invisible carers'.<br />

We use this phrase for the many wives<br />

and husbands who do not even realise<br />

that much of the 'support' in the system<br />

applies to them... as they don't think<br />

they are 'carers'.<br />
