Have A Think…

What skills or resources can you offer a charity at this difficult time? PDSA’s suggestion for a virtual dinner party might also inspire some ideas for alternative ways to raise funds while socialising virtually. Quizzes with family and friends are proving to be a popular means of entertainment – take out the pressure of needing to prepare material by registering with www.myquiz.org. Alternatively, you could play charades, discuss your favourite books, have a karaoke session… the possibilities are endless.

Are you good at craft? If you are nifty with a needle, consider one of the local organisations co-ordinating homeworkers making protective wear for the community. Even if sewing isn’t your strong point, you could possibly still help by donating suitable fabric or picking up or delivering batches of products to or from collection points.

Are you a knitter? Several deserving causes are listed at www.ukhandknitting.com, detailing requests for therapy hand puppets, blanket squares and more.
