Europe is going through one the toughest economic periods in history. Money is tight, but do you know what? charitable donations are at an all time high in the UK, that's because contrary to what some elements of the media will tell you the country is not full of hoodies, rioters, benefit cheats and drains on society.
They are the minority, we are the majority, from the riot clean up to urban gardeners, from carers to community leaders, the UK is populated on the whole by the good and the socially aware. That's why so many of us try to raise money for good causes and so many more of us support them.
