Thanks for taking a look

stopthechop - It's about just taking 5 minutes out to consider what we could change or do to have a positive impact on other people, our surroundings, re-building communities that look after one another, and teaching children good values to take into the next generation to care for people, our environment and the planet.

Put down the games consoles, serve tea at the table with food from local shops, chat to the kids, forget about the Jones's and what they've got, and come up with something if you haven't already.

I applied to get on the plinth to promote 3 Orangutan Charities who do amazing work in very very difficult circumstances. The people and volunteers work is tireless. I decided when I found out, back in 2004, about Orangutans and what was happening to them, that I'd do something and that turned out to making palm oil-free soap and now candles and other stuff.

There is info on here about Palm Oil, the rainforest, climate change and the lovely Orange chaps who if they are lucky still have some forest left.

It doesn't matter what you do, big or small, time or money it all counts.

Wirral Youth Inclusion and Other things

I've not posted on here much, as I've been so busy. Well the Wirral Youth Inclusion Project was saved as an ex MP from the area managed to secure funding. This is definitely something I want to try and get involed in as it's fundamental stuff to look after kids so they can grow up into good people and not disillusioned ones who feel unloved and hence rebel against society. It's often the really bad ones that could be the amazing ones. So that's cause for a smile and some cheers!

So what other news:
  • We're doing the Liverpool Santa Dash for the Stroke Association on Dec 6th (Sunday)
  • We're doing the Winter Arts Market at Liverpool St Georges Hall 28th Nov 10am - 5pm
  • A group of us have signed up for CHICKS challenge in Devon again for April next year - it's with the Marine 42 Commandos at their base in Devon and it raises money to send disadvantaged kids on holiday and a decent break away from all the drudgery
  • Christmas season is upon us and as usual Little Satsuma gives away loads of freebies for various Christmas fundraisers - just give us a shout if you're in need of something
  • Jane has become a Green Ambassador for Liverpool which could be interesting
  • A group of us have signed up for the Great North Run in October 2010 so excited about that - though after having done 2 half marathons already my knee may not be so pleased
  • And other than that not much else to report...good to be alive, we are immensely lucky for what we have and I for one am very grateful

Good Night xx
