Hello all,
Actually nothing to do with the title, but the previous one (Childline) got so little attention, I've changed it.
Please take the time to have a look at this link
http://www.childline.org.uk/nightserviceappealindex.asp
I saw Esther Rantzen earlier on the news, she was discussing the issues faced by Childline as highlighted in the link, it touched me and I thought I'd check it out.
Confession time: I didn't give a penny to Live 8 and very little to Tsunami (only an obligatory donation for a work "dress down day"). I have, however, just given a few quid to Childline.
Exactly how I can pay £600 per month in tax and national insurance and yet my government is unable to subsidise this service, is beyond my comprehension.
We all have our own opinions on charity - whatever they may be, there is no denying that if this service goes out of operation then British children will suffer.
Thanks for reading and best wishes,
James
