A Year Of Charity

I had an idea that I've been mulling over for some time and I've decided that it might make for interesting reading so I thought I'd blog it.  I often feel I should give more to charity.  In the age of social media we all get lots of requests for sponsorship.  Sometimes I give, sometimes I don't but why don't I?  I'm really not sure, time, circumstance.  I might see a post when I'm not in a position to donate and then forget to go back to it.  I certainly can't use the excuse that I can't afford it.  But I'm someone who likes structure and that's where the idea came about.

The plan is to donate £5 a week for a year.  Maybe longer.  To sponsorships, to urgent appeals, to telethons, to whatever's on my mind or in the news at the time.  Every week will be a different charity or appeal.  It's difficult to know if it will turn out easy or hard to find things. Which is why I thought I'd blog it from the beginning!

The plan is to take nominations throughout the week and donate on a Friday.  I've already got a couple lined up but it'll be interesting to see where it leads...
