Adopt a Scottish Dolphin with WDCS
Leave the first response April 26, 2010 / Posted in Animal WelfareThe WDCS (Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society) are a charity whose aim is to protect whales and dolphins from the ever increasing dangers they face in today’s modern world. WDCS have also done some adverts to highlight the plight of these creatures including the tongue in cheek effort below.
The WDCS are giving you the chance to help save dolphins by offering ones up for adoption! It’s ok, you won’t have to build Seaworld in your back garden, they will staying at their home in the Scotland’s Moray Firth. 
Dolphins currently up for adoption include Sundance, Nevis, Rainbow, Moonlight, Spirit and Mischief. I like the sound of Mischief! Adopt one today for £4 a month and as well as knowing you are helping the dolphins have a future, you will get a personalised certificate, an interactive DVD of whales and dolphins, a fluffy toy dolphin with the name of your adopted dolphin on too!
Unlike most animal adoptions, especially ones overseas in the wild, you can visit your dolphin in it’s natural habitat! The WDCS website gives you the best places and times to visit and see your dolphin. Also you can visit one of their centres where you can find out more about these beautiful creatures.

Sport Relief Weekend Kicks Off with Fundraising Friday
Leave the first response March 17, 2010 / Posted in FundraisingThe Sport Relief Weekend is only 2 days away so you’d best get ready to splash the cash when fundraising Friday gets under way! Celebrities have been out in full force this year, taking part in some awesome challenges that would test the limits of most adventurers- including Eddie Izzard’s Marathon a Day.
Above is a clip of Eddie at the finish line in London. We believe Eddie deserves a special mention for successfully running 43 marathons in 51 days – a total distance of 1,106 miles around the UK!
However, you don’t have to be a celebrity nor spend weeks up to your armpits in mushy peas to raise money for Sport Relief – there is still time to register for the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile taking place on Sunday 21st March!

Haiti Earthquake Appeal Celebrity Auction
Leave the first response January 28, 2010 / Posted in OxfamGlastonbury Festival organiser Emily Eavis and Oxfam have put together a celebrity charity auction on eBay to raise money for their Haiti Earthquake Appeal. While you can’t actually nab yourself a celebrity in the auction, you can bid on some seriously cool stuff that has been generously donated by musicians, including Glastonbury VIP tickets, a Florence and the Machine Limited edition signed print and loads more.
The mighty Muse have donated the custom Tama drumkit that Dom used throughout the Black Holes & Revelations… 2006-2008 tour and is a serious bit of kit, ever more so if you are a Muse fan! The current winning bid stands at £2,500, though we fully expect this to go higher once we’ve cleared out the garage
Above is Muse performing Supermassive Black Hole at Wembley in 2007 with Dom using the very drum kit up for auction.
The auction is open now and closes at 0900 on Tuesday 2 February with more items being added all the time. So head on over and while bagging yourself some great music and movie memorabilia, remember all proceeds will go to the Oxfam Haiti Earthquake Appeal.
