The NSPCC has launched a new advert to promote their Be The Full Stop campaign. The advert is below and the message is that one click doesn’t stop child abuse. However your one click to Be The Full Stop can lead you to a number of different ways to really get involved with helping to end cruelty to children. From making a donation to signing a petition, the NSPCC have put together an easy to use and informative website.

You’ll find positive tips for positive parenting, information about how to get involved plus how to get a full stop badge. Why not visit Be The Full Stop and make the first click to start supporting The NSPCC.

News reaches us at Donateto that M&Co are running a promotion to support breast cancer. £2 from all sales of their pink breast cancer charity top get donated to charity! The top has three quarter length sleeves (as you can see on the left) and is available in S,M,L,XL and XXL. It retails for £14.

Breast Cancer charities are not the only ones who are benefitting from sales at M&Co as they’re also backing Save the Children too. M&Co have recently launched a brand new initiative that will see 5p from every single item of kids clothing sold being donated towards the charity’s campaign to raise funds for the impoverished children of Myanmar. Chairman of M&Co Iain McGeoch said: “We are delighted to be in a position to help so many children in one of the world’s most deprived areas”.

This year’s Children In Need takes place on November 16th 2007. You can find out to get involved by visiting the official website where you’ll also pick up all the latest news about the day and also events in your area. Plus download Pocket Pudsey and stay up to date with all the latest from BBC Children in Need – you’ll get a message on your desktop from Pudsey with this service.

If you’re looking for something fun to wear on the day or to help your Pudsey party go with a swing, or perhaps a gift idea to help Children in Need, then The BBC Shop have a number of Pudsey related items for sale. Proceeds from these products got to Children in Need (although it’s not clear how much, but at least it’s direct from The BBC so it’s official merchandise).

Products Include:

Children in Need 2007 Tshirts
Pudsey Plush
Pudsey Charms
Balloons & Balloonstix
Coffee Mugs
Pudsey Keyrings

Everything has gone pink this month as a number of companies support Breast Cancer Awareness Month! You’ll find everything from pink doughnuts in Asda to special edition designer ducks.

Interflora are one of the companies who are proud to be supporting Breast Cancer Care, the UK’s leading charity that provides information, practical assistance and emotional support for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer and their families. To help raise awareness and money they have selected some beautiful gifts to choose from.

With every purchase, 5% of the sale goes straight to Breast Cancer Care.

With many kids now heading back to school that means that it’s time for new school uniform and other kit. Marks and Spencer not only can help clothe your kids, but they’re also offering 5% of sales to help Save the Children too. M&S’s aim is “to help at least 15,000 children in western Uganda benefit from a proper education”. The leading high street fashion store hopes to be able to donate £500,000 to this worthy charity.

This will pay for 40 new classrooms, teacher training, desks and chairs, textbooks and pens. It will also pay for toilet and washroom facilities in three schools, safe water in one school and housing for much-needed teachers.

Unfortunately, this campaign is due to close on 4th September, so visit Marks and Spencer to help support Save the Children.
