Support a Charity

Mandela Day has long gone, and with it our reminder to keep on giving back to the community.

Giving back does not necessarily mean sending a cheque every month. For most charities, a cheque will go a long way, but spending your time there is just as valuable to them. Sometimes the things you take for granted and consider too old for use will be grabbed readily by these charities. One man’s junk is another’s treasure!

Here are some charities and the help they could do with:Give Back
