Charities

This blog is going to focus on charities and what can be done to help them.

I have take part in many fundraising events and activities with the latest one being growing my beard for the whole of January for Chestnut tree house hospice. They care for terminally children and young adults from 0 - 19 years old.


It costs £2 million a year to run their services with the government contributing none of that. It is all made up from donations and fund raising.

Why when the government can spend billions a year to fund wars in far off lands, can they not find at least some money for charities like this that cover for the short fall in the NHS.

Now i am not criticising the work that the NHS do as for the resources of man power, equipment and money they do a great job. Or the people that are in armed forces fighting in Afganistan.

But the government use our money to bail out the banks, fight these wars on terror in different countries and forget that the basic things that we need and pay our taxes for like heath care and education for the future generation.

Now back to the main point that charities out there need our help and our money. As they need our support to keep running and to help all those causes that deserve it both domestic and foreign. There are many ways you can help them and not just by donating money.

My friend has a blog called FreeGiving on just this type of thing check it out for more ways you can help charities without donating money.
