Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year! This year's festive fun is a general knowledge quiz that you can try on your own or use on your friends, family and colleagues. The link is at the bottom of this blog.
A few years ago we committed to giving 1% of our annual profits to good causes. So instead of sending cards or gifts each Xmas, we donate to organisations that we think are worthwhile. This year we've chosen these two organisations:
Prison Reform Trust
The Prison Reform Trust is an independent UK charity working to create a just, humane and effective penal system. Their main objectives are:
- reducing unnecessary imprisonment and promoting community solutions to crime;
- improving treatment and conditions for prisoners and their families; and
- promoting equality and human rights in the justice system.
Women For Women
Women For Women helps female survivors of war rebuild their lives. It was founded in response to the Bosnian conflict which saw rape used as a weapon of war. Survivors said that they felt invisible, that the world had forgotten about them, that no one cared. They have now supported over half a million women across conflict-affected countries to overcome the horrors of war and work towards a better future for themselves and their families.
