What is your reaction to the begging bowl? Personally I don’t like to be pushed, so I’m going to apologise in advance for this blog. Most people give something to charity most years and there are almost as many ways of doing this, as there are honourable homes for your spare money. I tend to give in two ways, membership of cultural organisations such as
The Art Fund,
English Heritage and
The National Trust coupled with the disposal of all copper coins I’m given in change into charity tins. However, after attending this years Royal Film Performance (see archive sidebar links 9/12/08) I thought that I’d have my cake and eat it. What can be more cultural than Film and Television and where would you find the unsung heroes of the industry? Why selling you that Cinema ticket or something similar. Therefore the
Film & Television Benevolent Fund (CTBF), who stage the Royal Film Performance, and specialise in helping those heroes of the industry in times of need, seemed like an ideal candidate for my largesse. But here is the dark side, today I became a member of CTBF without spending a penny! How, you ask? Have you forgotten Christmas already! My daughter is the Business Development Manager for the
Cure Parkinson’s charity so it gave her great pleasure to purchase my membership as her Christmas present to me. Smiles all round and what’s more this could be an annual event! So what’s stopping you from checking out the
CTBF (and don’t forget
Cure Parkinson’s!)?
Be Part Of The Miracle!!
