Fundraising

There are many different reasons why people feel the need to give to charity each year. Some people do it because they believe in the cause, others, just because they feel they have to. Each year there are big charity events which bring the need to raise money to the forefront of peoples minds. Events such as Comic Relief, which raises an enormous amount of money for charity have become popular with people of all ages. Schools and business across England join in to raise awareness of subjects which are often brushed under the carpet. Comic Relief first hit our television screens back in 1985, and since then it has become a popular event. The mission of red nose day is to make people aware of poverty around the world. As westerners we have no concept of what it is like to live in some areas of Africa, with no running water, often no food and disease all around. It helps people who have been affected by conflict and people who are living in urban slums. It also goes to help many people within the United Kingdom, ie. those who are suffering from alcohol or drug addiction and those who are suffering from domestic abuse. It is to raise awareness in general, and to ask people who are in a privileged position to help out. With the price of Gold hitting an all time high, and many people having unwanted, broken and old gold jewellery hanging around, it might be a good time to sift through it, send it off and donate the proceeds from the jewellery to charity events such as Comic Relief. This way people in need can benefit from something that was of little benefit. Fundraising is enormously important to an event such as Comic Relief so dig out them old bracelets and rings and do your bit for a good cause. If you are looking for a good place to trade in this jewellery then search around the internet. There are many companies buying gold in Hamburg (http://www.goldankauf.net/hamburg.html) at present.
