Bottlegreen turns pink for charity

How cute is this bottle, right?

Bottlepink is Bottlegreen turned pink! Bottlegreen have teamed up with Breakthrough Breast Cancer and are donating 10% of the sales of bottlepink during Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Bottlepink is available in pomegranate & elderflower cordial and pomegranate & elderflower sparkling presse.

So whether you're holding a pink party or have any excuse to party, this limited edition bottle will impress your friends and you'll be contributing to helping Breakthrough Breast Cancer change lives through researching, educating and campaigning.

Perfect for a pink party!

So keep any eye out for these glam bottles in major supermarkets from £2.39.

I will be reviewing the cordial very soon so keep an eye out for that.

Where does YOUR donation go?

It's easy to not want to give to charity when so much is spent on admin and paying the directors their huge salaries but I've found a great charity that.. wait for it... gives 100% of your donation towards its projects. That charity is the Ummah Welfare Trust (UMT).

How does it do this? Its overheads are paid for using sales from their charity shops and clothes banks, from donations made specifically for administration and from tax reclaimed from the Gift Aid scheme.

UWT has already raised around £3 million for their Horn of Africa appeal but they haven't yet reached their £5 million target so click here to find out how to donate.

Other projects include donating start-up money to help someone set up their own stall, contributing towards an orphanage in North Pakistan and installing wells in South Asia and Africa, to name a few.

It is aimed towards muslims so don't worry about charity type. Any type will do and doesn't affect your donation.

Let's make poverty history!

Japan Tsunami Appeal

As promised, I have found a way to help the people affected by the tsunami in Japan. Just visit The Red Cross to donate.

Even better, visit Groupon to donate and they will match your donation up to a total of £70,000.

My thoughts and prayers with Japan

It was saddening to hear about how the earthquake and tsunami in Japan affected so many lives. My thoughts are with all those affected. Once I find any ways of donating to help these people, I will surely add some links so keep your eyes peeled for the next post.

Urgent appeal

Source

As you may already know, the unrest in Libya has left many without their basic needs such as shelter, food, water and hygiene. Medical supplies are also urgently needed due to many people being injured.

It's not easy watching the news and feeling helpless but there are ways you can help.

The Red Cross, Islamic relief and UNICEF are collecting donations to provide help such as sending food and medical supplies to Libya. You can help just by donating £1 to any of these charities. If 50 people did this, 10 people in Libya can be supplied with a hygiene kit from Islamic Relief. If you can donate more than this then even better!

So please visit the following links to learn about how these charities are helping and to donate.

International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) (click on Libya (Medical assistance) to donate to this cause)

Islamic Relief

UNICEF

Also, share this with your friends and family.

Thanks!
