So Christmas is on it's way and I want to take advantage (in a good way!) of the season of goodwill by raising money for charities close to my heart.
Firstly we have CLIC Sargent who do wonderful things for children with cancer. They helped Georgie when he was ill and I am trying to replay them by taking part in their annual Big Bucket Collection.
December is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and CLIC Sargent is the country's leading charity for children and young people with cancer as well as their families. They proves clinical, practical and emotional help to young sufferers and their families by providing access to specialist nurses, social works and play specalists. They also provide financial help to families, helping them meet extra costs. As well as all that they provide free accommodation close to specialist cancer centres and holidays in the UK. CLIC Sargent are there for the whole journey: from the point of diagnosis, helping families cope with the impact the disease has on everyones lives as well as helping people deal with gruelling treatments as well as life after treatment and in some horrible cases bereavement.
I am organising the Big Bucket Collection at Tesco's in Woodford Green, Essex. I'm hoping to sell Christmas themed cupcakes, mince pies and mulled wine for a small donation as well have having people with big buckets ready to collect any spare change from the Christmas shoppers.
My collection will be taking place on Friday 16th December 2011 and although I already have a few willing volunteers, I will welcome more! If you can spare an hour or two on the day to help me then I would really appreciate it! Some families, like mine, will be spending Christmas without a young loved one this year and I would like to prevent that happening to many more families next year. Every penny will count and I hope to make this a very successful collection!
