Where’s the most loveable place in the UK? Add your heart and location to this Love Map and make your place the most loveable.

Even better, for every heart placed a donation will be going to Diabetes UK (up to the value of £500). Diabetes UK is the largest organisation in the UK working for people with diabetes, funding research, campaigning and helping people live with the condition.

A lovely idea for Valentine’s Day!

National Doodle Day – 23rd February

1 Comment February 8, 2007 / Posted in News

The nation’s doodlers are being urged to join celebrities like Daniel Craig, Bruce Forsyth, Dame Judi Dench and Dame Helen Mirren by putting pen to paper for the fourth National Doodle Day on February 23.

The event, which grows bigger each year, raises vital funds for Epilepsy Action and The Neurofibromatosis Association. This year’s theme is ‘Doodle Daydreams.’ An online auction will be launched on eBay on National Doodle Day and will run for 10 days, giving people the opportunity to bid for their favourite celebrity doodle.

To celebrate National Doodle Day, people can take part in a competition by sending their doodles to a special Freepost address at just £1 for each entry. Judging will be carried out by actor, author and Doodle Day Patron, Maureen Lipman. Certificates will be awarded in various age categories and all winners will have their work displayed in the Hall of Fame on the National Doodle Day website.

More details can be found at National Doodle Day.

Walkers Crisps are gearing up for Red Nose Day by giving away Red Ears at their Walkears website. The ears are free, but they do encourage you to make a donation to Red Nose Day – everyone who does gets their name running across the site as a thank you – plus you can search for your name in the Walkears Hall of Fame.

As well the free ears, there’s also a competition to win Gary Lineker’s uniform as worn in a Walkers Crisp TV ad – play the game to enter. Help Gary fill the boxes destined for your local depot by lobbing lugs at the correctly labelled crates!

Red Nose Day takes place on March 16th. Visit the official site for more details, events and fund raising ideas.

Cancer Research
“A Direct Debit of £2 a month will help Cancer Research bring hope to cancer patients, and see many more people enjoying life for longer. “

Thanks to the generosity of people like you, many families will have something extra special to celebrate this Christmas – the simple fact that they are together. To families who have been touched by cancer, this is the best Christmas gift of all. Sadly, however, people are still losing their lives to cancer. As long as cancer stops people – mothers, fathers, grandparents – being there to share Christmas, more needs to be done.

Cancer Research are one of the few independent organisations with the ability to take pioneering research all the way from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside. But, groundbreaking research into diagnosing, preventing and treating cancer can take many years.

That’s why it is vitally important that we can plan ahead to ensure we can fund long-term research projects as effectively as possible. Giving a small amount every month by Direct Debit can help the list of survivors to grow. Please donate £2 a month now. Together we will beat cancer.

“WWF conserves endangered species, protects threatened habitats and addresses global threats!”

The planet is under attack from an uncontrolled release of toxic chemicals. Oceans are being polluted, forests cut down, and many species are now under threat of extinction. Globally we are using over 20% more natural resources each year than can be regenerated. The planet cannot keep up with our growing consumption levels.

WWF works to stop this degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. WWF works to address global threats such as climate change, the consumption of natural resources and the use of toxic chemicals. Join Today!
