Interesting idea from the Trussell Trust: Reverse Advent Calendar Campaign


Recommended Posts

'Trussell Trust Reverse Advent Calendar Campaign


Christmas is undoubtedly a time of excess for many. However not everyone is in a position to indulge. For that reason, we?d like to suggest considering taking part in this campaign by the Trussell Trust if you can. It?s pretty simple, every time you open a door in your own advent calendar and take a treat for yourself, you also donate a much needed item of food to a box destined for a local food bank. To check what stock is most needed in your local area, visit https://www.trusselltrust.org/get-help/find-a-foodbank/ and click on the links to ?Give help?/?Donate food?. They ask that you try and get donations in as early as possible so that foodbanks have enough time to distribute before Christmas.'

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
