People, your sitting at your computer now on the internet reading my blog. Its safe to say your not living on the breadline, i know you have people stopping you in the street, calling, emailing you and generally pestering you to give, give to charity. I know its annoying but they’re noble in their intentions. If you too out of pocket or just plain to tight to give to them its a real drag, so I’ve decided to give you 5 ways to make a difference and improve someones life without spending a penny!
1. http://www.charityclickdonation.com/ – an amazing idea this, all you have to do is click to give to charity! you view a few ad’s and the advertisers pay a little to charity its that simple, you can do it as many times as you want. Give it a go at the end of the day what will it cost you?
2. http://www.thehungersite.com/ – Same kind of deal, a bit more variety in the stuff you can do though my personal preference.
3. http://www.goodsearch.com/ – This is a really neat idea. First you select a chairty from the search bar on the bottom and once you find the one you want to fundraise for it’ll be set on the bottom and then use the Yahoo search at the top of the page as you would a normal search engine and as you use it, money gets given to your chairty. This is because the custom search on the page gives money to the site every time its used. but instead of the site taking these gains as a wage packet they give it to the charities listed! how cool is that! I suggest you set it as your home page and use it daily!
4. This is non internet involved, do you have a box like the one on the 
right in your loft or under your bed? gathering dust with the promise youll read them one day? well old books are great for chairty shops because they sell well, better than kids toys or clothes (but you can still give these! every little helps and all that!) just have a sort out of all the stuff you dont use anymore and if its in good working order drop it off at your local charity shop. This way these things get a new home and you get to make a difference and get some much needed shelf space back! BONUS!
5. Another one for helping in real life and this is all to with giving up your time. This is simply to voulenteer. Voulenteering your time and effort is completely free and could go a hell of a long way. If its just answering phones for a charity or delivering meals on wheels to the elderly this means a whole lot more than a cash donation to some people. Plus you get the gratification of seeing your hard work pay off and feel as though youve helped.
Thats it folks, Go out and make a difference, remember money dont make the world go round people do!

Those are some great ideas to lend a helping hand. I’ve recently discovered SocialVibe (thanks to wordpress) It’s an easy anyone can help out. I put one of there badges on my blog so anyone that visits my blog can click a button, rate a video (takes about 1 minute) and that helps get clean water for those that need it. (water is the charity that I picked) SV has many Charities to choose from. Thanks for giving some other great ways to help out.
