What a contribution!

How does a 7 year old contribute more in one day than most people contribute in a whole lifetime?

To give your time and effort to raise money for charity is noble and worthwhile, and many people do it for a variety of causes and for a variety of personal and public reasons.

To maximise the benefit of your efforts, however, is also important; anyone who has had difficulty finding sponsors for their swim, run or ride can tell you that!

Connecting with people

Charlie Simpson made a short video in his attempt to raise money for people of Haiti as they deal with the consequences of the earthquake there.

That video is clear, it is personal and I defy anyone who watches it not to feel a connection with this young boy from London.

He aimed for £500. At the time of writing, he has passed £118,000 !! You can give here
