Perhaps anyone on twitter could give a retweet

Thanks Claire. I have retweeted. Looking at the T & C's, each tweet of #Take5 counts too, so I shall be adding the hashtag to all my tweets.

Nice idea but i won't be participating. If it was UK ONLY i might - too much of a percentage of these charities money goes abroad. They already get too much wth foreign aid.

From the railway children site text: "Aviva are pledging up to £100,000 to represent the 100,000 child runaways in the UK"


not sure where it says it isn't UK only??

From their website

Railway Children fights to change the lives of children living alone and at risk on the streets in the UK, India and East Africa.

You don't need to donate just retweet and on last years figures 36% was UK spend so you have still got 36p for UK use for the sake of one retweet.

I don't have a problem with the money going to help children abroad as well. All are human beings in need.

It's not actually costing me anything either

Thanks for posting this, i've retweeted. I don't see why you wouldn't! Regardless of where the people live that benefit from this you are still helping another human!
