#Charityis underreported
At some point in our lives we will all benefit from the work of a charity, whether we’re strolling through a park, going to the theatre or looking for care and support at a time of need. But rarely do we hear this story told.
So let's tell it.
Join us on social media as we encourage each other to think about what charity means for us as individuals, for others and for our communities. It's time to show what #CharityIs . . .
