Daughter/charity

[GOODASGOLD]

I have been invited to do a days charity work making a Christmas grotto for children aged 8-13 in Brixton, south London.

It is being organised through my corporate employer.

I would like to do this, but I would also like my 10yo dd to come too.

Do you tink this would be possible? She is up for it. And very nice, otherwise I wouldn't want to vouch for her.

What do you think?

there might be an insurance issue?

I'd imagine that the only way to find out is to ask them.

That was my thinking too.

How sad, I would underwrite my child with my own life...

I am expecting a point blank 'no she can't come'

I personally would like her, pretty comfortable, to see what it could have very easily been like for her. And she is nice, I think she would bless anybody that she meets with her kindness and wicked sense of humour.

I was only 20 when she was born. It could have been us.

Insurance issues may put a stop to it, so perhaps its wise not to get your DDs hopes up. If she can help however, it would be super - all credit to you both. My DDs help me in my charity work (one an animal welfare organisation, the other a children's cancer charity). I know how much they enjoy it and how it is good for them to be involved, be it cleaning rescue dog kennels or taking part in sponsored runs and appeals for the children's charity. They see how hard others work, how lucky they (and our own pets) are and learn valuable lessons.

I think you have a daughter to be very proud of. I'm also a bit biased in your case as Brixton is pretty much my childhood home area. Good luck, I hope you both achieve your aim.

I will ask, of course understanding if it is insurance. I mean the problems that the children we are going to help face are more serious than whether they can be insured to help other little boys and girls.
