A world of my own

So today is Children in need. I'm sure all agree its a good cause.

However on the annual day of celebrities,large organizations and millions given - please for a moment consider donating to smaller charities. The ones who don't get the limelight but work tirelessly 24/7 and 365 days a year all over the UK. Some may even be local to you. Making a difference to lives in your comminuty or in your circles of family or friends. Unsung heroes who dedicate themselves because they really care and want to make a difference and empower or support others.

I work for a charity and every day I'm inspired and moved by the stories and the people. I feel very lucky to be able to go to work and the focus is to make things better. Not to make some corporate a big profit.

So if you plan to donate today, please consider other causes too.

Thanks xxxx

Don't forget to use the tax " gift aid " when donating ;

It gives the charity an additional 25p for every £1 you donate

We can't afford monetary donations so instead we volunteer our time at two animal shelters.

I used to help run a charity, but because we couldn't get the funds we had to lose our charity status and without that it's hard to get support.

I have a dd set up for a cancer charity as I lost both my parents to this horrible disease, ma mum 2 days before ma 7'th birthday and ma dad when I was 21.

Anything that helps is always a plus

I choose not to support the large charitable events or even the big national charities. I don't have a lot to spare but I prefer to support small, local charites such as the nottingham branch of the ms society. They help people like my mum by providing support groups, benefit advice and they have a special centre which offers things like low cost hyperbaric oxygen therapy which isn't available on the NHS. Although my mum doesn't use many of the services they offer I support them as much as can. They make a massive difference to other local people who have this awful illness.

For anyone able to give up your time to help out beats any monetary amount that you can donate. Gets a big up from me.
