Just a quickie - had some info through from Save the Chidren - their latest campaign is asking folks to skip a treat -from a chocolate bar to a trip out - and give the money saved to Save the children. I'm sure we're all inundated with "junk" mail from charities asking for money but this idea struck a chord - when they say things like the cost of a couple of cinema tickets could equip a schoolroom in Sudan where war and famine have all but destroyed the education system - it just made me think.
Don't want to make anyone feel guilty but thought as it was chid centred folks wouldn't mind me alerting you to the campaign. The phone line for donations is 0207 012 6400 or the website is here
