I don’t just use my Witchcraft for personal gain. I occassionally use it to help others. Here is one such case, were I’ve made magic bags to sell for someone who is raising money for charity:
These magic bags are around the themes of happiness and money and have made using the correct magical properties.

Having struggled with my own mental health this year (see Finally…in Recovery and getting Back to Life), it’s unsurprising that two of my charitable donations have been to mental health charities:
 SANE SANE is a UK mental health charity, which aims to improve the lives of people affected by mental illness. |
 Mind Mind is a UK mental health charity that states that it won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect. |
 |
I gave another donation to JDRF who are an international charity that fund research into a cure for type 1 diabetes. Currently one of the things they’re funding is smart insulin, which could be life-changing for diabetics. |
They have great Christmas cards and wrapping paper in their shop, all the proceeds of which go to them. So I stocked up.
 |
My final donation was to The Brick Project, which supports homeless people in the Wigan borough (my hometown). Through circumstances and life events anyone could end up homeless. I’d never want to be homeless and like to support any charities that help people to rebuild their lives. |

The People’s Assembly is against austerity, which is ideological rather than essential. It’s against Britain being run for the minority of the wealthy elite and instead advocates running society for the majority.
I learned about The People’s Assembly through reading The Establishment by Owen Jones, see my review of the book here. |
The People’s Assembly has The People’s Charter (below), which gives more detail on what they stand for:
They are not associated to any political party and instead are more like a campaign group or national forum. I encourage you all to support The People’s Assembly and be part of the democratic revolution.
Want to get involved? Here’s how:
I’ve donated and am hoping that The People’s Assembly will do what it sets out to achieve – a fairer society for all.

Last year I was Thinking About Homelessness and made donations to The Albert Kennedy Trust and Shelter. I aim to donate to these charities again this year. But this year I’ve also made donations to:
|
After reading this blog post: Why EVEN I’M excited about the beta cell breakthrough for type 1 diabetes – and why your £10 donation today will go further than ever before. By JDRF’s Head of Research Communication Rachel Connor, as a Type 1 diabetic, I felt compelled to donate towards a cure for diabetes. |
I hope to buy or be bought a JDRF onesie from Onesie Warehouse to make a further £5 donation.

After watching Tom Daley’s and Dustin Lance Black’s heart-felt Youtube video, I decided to donate. My donation supports The Human Rights Campaign in the US and The Brain Tumour Charity in the UK. Both worthy causes that deserve support.
Plus by donating I’ve got a chance to win a double date with Tom & Dustin which includes: a photoshoot, going on the London Eye, going for dinner with Tom & Dustin before being shown around some cool places in London by them. |
To find out more see: Omaze – Go on the best double date ever with Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black in London.

I’ve made a donation to help make the film Sell-Off – The Abolition of Your NHS. |
I am seeing the results of The Health and Social Care Act (2012) on the NHS firsthand. We are quickly moving towards the American model of healthcare, driven by profit not medical need and I think it’s wrong. This film will hopefully show the general public the truth, which is being widely under reported in the media.
All these donations have been relatively small. But even small donations help, and if many people made small donations it would soon mount up.
