Charity work

[GMES]

Has the title suggests , does anyone have a customer they do work for for free.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a massive Dog lover and Treat my boy Jack like a Baby, and cannot abide anyone who is cruel or abusive to dogs.
If there is ever a TV program on about it you can guarantee I will be watching it.
So this has got me thinking I would love to offer my services to a local Dog rescue/shelter free of charge of course.
So over the next few weeks I am going to try and suss a few of them out and see what I can come up with.
so does Anyone else do anything similar.

Done quite a bit for elderly neighbors and families on a tight budget. Last one was only about 5 weeks ago, neighbor opposite, alarm went off at midnight and could not silence it. Husband working away and the woman was in a fit of tiers whilst looking through the yellow pages for an alarm engineer. She did not want to knock on my door and wake me up lol! The alarm did that. 5 mins later and all is quiet. "How much do you want?"
"Nothing, JUST TAKE ME TO BED

Two days later and the husband knocks on the door with the gift of a tray of beer and a £20 note as a thank you!!! I accepted the beers and tried to refuse the money but he would not take no for an answer, it paid for the takeaway lol. Well it did save them around £100 call out charge, all I wanted to do is go to sleep.

You dirty old toad ha ha

Electrically wise I've only done a few small bits for people and a fair bit for the local village hall.

I'm also a St John ambulance volunteer

Non Electrically I was going to volunteer to be a first responder, but with my hours not knowing whAt time I am finishing or if working weekends I couldn't do it

Apart from mum and best mate the only free electrical work I do is for my next door neighbour who is 85 and lost her husband a few years back. She is of the old school and did not feel at all comfortable about not paying, so I had to point out that she was always taking in parcels for me when I was out so infact I should be paying her! She was happy then. :smiley2:
