Charity of the month, is month we are going to leave it down to our followers what charity they may or may not want to donate to.
Over the years we have aimed to pick a different local charity that we advertise on our blog and also nationwide and worldwide when possible.
Over the past years a lot of local charities in your home town have closed; those that are nation wide and world wide have also struggled.
What we found is a lot of them now do not just rely on foot fall, they also have their own online shops, use social media and companies like eBay and Amazon.
So when you have time to think about supporting the wider community where you live or even people national and oversea please consider to take the time to support a charity.
This could be done in a number of ways, thinks like donating unwanted items, making gifts they could sell, buying items, raising money, volunteering your time.
One thing that we do is try to research the charity to make sure they are register and to find out where the money they receive is used for. This information should be accessible or be able to be obtained upon request.
Thank you.

Today is the day when we take the time to remember those we have lost. So please remember to take the time to do so.
This year because of Covid19 we are not able to collect for the Poppy Appeal like we have in the past, one of the places that we use to collect was at the Coventry train station, we hope to be able to do this again in 2021.
One thing that we do every year is plant poppies and collect the seeds, if anyone would like a packet of seeds with their order then please let us know.
