Charity
of the month, is month we are going to leave it down to our followers
what charity they may or may not want to donate to.
Over
the years we have aimed to pick a different local charity that we
advertise on our blog and also nationwide and worldwide when
possible.
Over
the past years a lot of local charities in your home town have
closed; those that are nation wide and world wide have also
struggled.
What
we found is a lot of them now do not just rely on foot fall, they
also have their own online shops, use social media and companies like
eBay and Amazon.
So
when you have time to think about supporting the wider community
where you live or even people national and oversea please consider to
take the time to support a charity.
This
could be done in a number of ways, thinks like donating unwanted
items, making gifts they could sell, buying items, raising money,
volunteering your time.
One
thing that we do is try to research the charity to make sure they are
register and to find out where the money they receive is used for.
This information should be accessible or be able to be obtained upon
request.
Thank
you.
