Tend not to pass on things that are too OT, but this is a nice, local-ish charity event for a very good cause.
As received:
I am doing a trip around the edges of Wales on my mobility scooter to raise money for The Royal British Legion, Help for Heroes and 1st The Queens Dragoon Guards. The trip, all being well will last about 46 days and I will cover approximately 1200 miles.
* By putting up a poster, there is a link to an A4 poster on the website (in PDF format).
* By making a pledge, this can be done on the website, no monies will be collected until after I have completed the trip.
* Or by spreading the word?
If you would like more information about the trip please see the website, www.roundwales.co.uk or give me a call. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you do one thing today...

Brilliant concept, totally appropriate for an outstanding cause.
While the marketing sense of using 'celebs' is clear, I would have preferred more of the faces to be featured to be those more relevant and in need of further exposure to those they have served.
Still worth 'buying' over and over to succeed.
I was going to apologise for this being a bit 'off eco' but, on reflection, other than server consequences, etc, maybe it's even 'greener' than more 'showy' methods.
Of course, get that poppy too, but only to wear at the right time for the right reasons.
Dad, what you and others did and still do for me and our future will never be forgotten.

CHARITY
Charity is good. Charities are... mostly. But some are more than others.

Telegraph - Charities want a bail-out: they shouldn't get a penny - brutal, but does raise issues about what constitutes a 'charity'. A lot do seem almost like quangos, being little more than funded mouthpieces for government policy. And, like 'not for profits', I do often look at the calibre of the senior 'management' and wonder at the remuneration.

There are good ones. I'll need to start listing those I rate... or get told of.
