Instead of sending Christmas cards we donate money to charity. For the last couple of years this has meant we have donated oxen, beehives, goats etc to some of the poorest people on earth. I think this is better use of money and I am sure our customers would agree.
In Helston, Cornwall there is a particularly worthwhile charity called Shelter Box. They send tents fully equipped for up to 10 people to survive - full information is on this website. www.shelterbox.org/box
This year we have chosen a local charity basically because it is Cornish but helps in the worse hit areas of the world. I hope that we can help in Bangladesh because I travelled there 3 years ago and the people are great even though they constantly face disasters.
