Fed up with the usual "give me your money" approach to charity. An idea came to me one day of asking people to donate their time instead. I thought my idea was unique until I found a whole host of sites and organisations who do such a thing. One such organisation can be found at
http://www.volunteering.org.uk
You will be able to find your nearest centre. There are a large number of different ways of donating your time. So don't feel that you will be pushed into something you're not comfortable with. Alternatively you can give blood for the first time or help out at a local youth group. The options are endless. There is no time limit on when to do this. Anytime from now until whenever. Your help will always be invaluable.
It would be fantastic if you could post a comment on the site to say what work you would like to do and how many hours you have donated so that we can keep a running total. If you prefer send an email info@donatemytime.org.uk .
If everyone I know can donate even just 1hr of their time to a worthwhile cause or charity then we would have achieved a great deal.
If you'd prefer the easy option of giving money, Rob is cycling to raise money for the
Wiltshire Air Ambulance and you can visit his fundraising page here.
Thanks
Peter & Rob :o)
