Can a hobby help others?

I have written a lot about how my hobby has been good for me, mentally and physically, especially during Covid.

For many years I have been a volunteer with a charity that raises funds for projects in India for vulnerable children. The charity is called # Scottish Love in Action.I have recently been given the honour of becoming their Depute Chair.

In these difficult times for so many, charities are struggling. All our fundraising activities are dependent on people getting together so we are searching for Covid resistant ways to get funds.

To that end I made a wee room with the idea of trying to raise some funds. But it isn’t as easy as it sounds.

I had thought of a raffle or it being something in a silent auction. But who would buy it, not suitable for children. Are enough people interested?

I am on a couple of Facebook pages linked to dollshouse but they aren’t for selling. I think you need a licence for a raffle. Not so easy eh?

So I am still trying to help these kids but watch this space.
