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.

I collect and deliver donations for a womens refuge, the women and children are victims of domestic violence or abuse and generally turn up at the refuge with nothing other than the clothes they are wearing. I am one of a very few men allowed to know the location of the refuge. I have offered my electrical services for free but unfortunately they have a maintenance company doing all their work.

Nothing electrically but will be volunteering with the RBL for this year's Poppy Appeal.

I don't do any electrical work for charities, I'm not reliably around during the working week, usually working away. When I am at home and at weekends, I'm on the boat crew for the local RNLI station. The hardest part of which is being dry for 1 week in 3 when I'm on call!

I did a job for a couple and the woman had started working in a refuge, well one day the husband went there to pick his wife up. So he knocks on the door and said I have come for my wife , the woman who answered the door said I bet you have then punched him knocking him of the door step, where he fell over then the first woman and her mate started giving him a kind king till his wife came out and stopped them
Ha ha ha

In the past when my company was much larger we had a specific charity donation budget each year. There were positive tax and BEEE (don't ask, it's a SA thing) implications so the amount was quite large ie a few hundred thousand. The destination of the donations however had to be govt approved charities and NGO's.

Nowadays my company is much smaller and more focused. We don't get the same tax benefits and our turnover is less so the amounts are lower. It's not really a bad thing though because now there's nothing to stop us choosing the smaller local charities where a smaller amount can still make a big impact and more locally rather than national charities where you never see an immediate benefit. In the last few years we've funded an internet cafe for kids in our local informal housing area, also a local animal rescue group and we funded a place of safety for abused children and female rape victims in conjunction with our local police station.
