Helping Hand

Showing gratitude can help us reflect on all that we have to be thankful for, is an opportunity to live the spirit of Xmas in a different way.

Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.

It’s a pleasure for me to share opportunities near my village.

Helping Hand- Caversham/Reading

‘Hello Everyone,
Christmas is fast approaching and with December only a few days away me and my children will be doing the 24days of kindness, this involves doing something kind to our family or community every day on the runway to Christmas and I would like to count with your help as well as your children too, big or small on some of the things.
- The 1st thing would be to Donate supplies to a local animal shelter on the 7th day of Kindness.
- The 2nd one would be to Donate 3 toys to the children's Ward at RBH, on the 11th day of Kindness.
- The 3rd Thing is to donate clothing and toys to a Refuge, on the 17th day of Kindness.
I would love to have as many families involved as possible so we can make a difference to our local community and spread the Christmas spirit.
I'm happy to be a drop-off point to all donations and would really benefit from all your suggestions of local places we could donate to.
Many Many thanks to you all’
