Every year, various charities run fundraising efforts for children. Some run toy collections.

When I used to work for Royal Mail, “Action for Children” was a charity of the year around 2017.

Every year they run a secret Santa campaign to raise funds to help provide presents and food for children.

My wife and I have donated as secret santas on a number of occasions when we have not donated a toy to a local charity.

A worthy cause to support and we always give in memory of our son Harry Michael Brophy. A small way of keeping his memory alive.

To help and become a secret Santa, details can be found here.

You can also donate with gift aid that boosts your donation. The charity also encourage and seek promotion via social media, hence posting in the blog.

My quick takes…

    In case you are wondering what has happened to the cinema reviews, I have been on holiday for a couple of weeks. Keep an eye out, as more reviews are starting again this weekend… (from May 16th).
