How Can We Be Charitable This Christmas

Christmas is a Magical time of year and if you a looking for that last minute Xmas Gift or just wanting to give to charity at what is a very hard time of year for many families and don't know where to start then check out this list of ideas.

In Your City or Town

1. Cleaning up ready for Xmas Lunch? Why not take all that stuff that you no longer use and donate it to your local charity?

2. Clean out the pantry. Again there will be organisations in your local area collecting food items.

3. Buy some dog/cat food for your local animal welfare organisation. Many supermarkets have donations bins otherwise contact your local animal refuge, rspca. There are also a number of small groups who dedicate their lives to saving and rehoming animals. These are generally people who receive no funding at all and fund these projects out of their own pockets. Facebook is a great place to search to find these small groups.

In Australia
