Progress - how things are getting on.

Well, aside from the web development and self promotion I'm working on I've been working on promoting events to be organised in my hometown for two child bereavement Charities.

Eclipse is:
"a service based in Staffordshire that seeks to support children and young people, aged 5-18 years old, through the grieving process"
Stafford & District Bereavement & Loss Support Service additionally works with bereaved families, helping and supporting them.

These groups are being supported by a friend of the family who has recently been helped by these wonderfully supportive charities, and I'm getting on board to help encourage people attending fundraising events to give to such a worthy cause.

I feel quite strongly about this as at some point, (although we may not want to think about it) we ALL may need support dealing with the loss of a loved one. With massive cuts coming within the UK government to reduce funding in areas such as this, I feel that it is so important for us to support these services to give a helping hand to people that would otherwise feel broken and alone in their grief.

That said, I'm hoping to hear from anyone out there reading this, have you seen a campaign that approached you in a new and interesting way, a form of advertising a cause that has made you think and inspired to get involved??
