Delighted to get this letter from “ Mercy in Action” a charity I have supported for years informing me that in the last year my donations have raised £529 plus an additional £132 in Gift Aid.
It would never have occurred to me to give this amount in cash but I am so pleased that my trips to the shop, bearing all those carrier bags, have been so worthwhile!
Two years ago I did even better - that was over £700 and I have to admit prompted me to sell some of my best stuff on eBay
I like Mercy in Action not only because they are a worthwhile charity providing, among other things, midwives and obstetric care for poor and often homeless mums in the Philippines , but also because they don’t sell “any old tat” I know they get a decent price for their donations.
