QotD: Showing My Support
What are some charitable causes that you support or would like to support?
On a monthly or annual basis I give to Amnesty Interational, Cancer Research UK, The Western Front Association, The Tibet Foundation, Free Tibet Campaign, and the Tricycle Foundation. This year I also gave to a Tibetan children’s school and orphanage in Dharamsala, The Tibetan Community of London, the in-law’s church and Breast Cancer Research. I give second hand clothing and sellable cluter to Oxfam and the British Heart Foundation and I buy books and gifts from their shops. I give money at my kid’s school fundraisers so they can buy computers and build gyms which may or may not be complete before my kids leave school, but other kids will benefit from them.
There is a great charity called Daisy's Dream which offers support to bereaved children, specialising in counselling those whose parents have committed suicide. This is close to home, both emotionally and literally, as they are based in Berkshire.
