Christmas Fundraising

To My Family and Friends,
Thank you for visiting my page.

This is year I have decided that, instead of buying presents or cards, I will be giving money to charity.
I have chosen to support the mental health charity Mind.
We all strive towards good physical health but it is nothing without mental wellbeing.
No one should face a mental health problem alone and this charity gives people a way forward, helps them understand their options and to get the support that they need.
Mind also campaign for better services and support so people experiencing a mental health problem get the help they need, when they need it.

If you would like to help support this great charity by making a donation I would be most grateful.
(With wonderful.org 100% of the money raised will go to charity, including Gift Aid.)
I wish you, and your loved ones, a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and good health and happiness always.
Look after each other,
Armağan

Dear Nene,
In June this year you left us.
I don't have the words to describe what you mean to me.
Nor do I have the courage to face (the reality of) my grief.
Yet every day I talk about you, and the things that you said and did, and I smile and laugh.
You taught me that, no matter how far apart we are, we cannot be separated.
So even now I feel our bond. I know that love does not die.
While I try to make the most of life without you, it has become increasingly difficult with your approaching 85th Birthday, along with Christmas and New Year.
What would usually be the happiest of times, together, now seems unbearable.

Yet this year I still intend to celebrate the holidays with my family and friends.
That is because you taught me that we should value our loved ones while we can. This is something that gives me comfort as I look back on our time together.
Nevertheless I have decided that, this year, I don't want to give or receive any Christmas cards or presents.
It doesn't feel right for me. You and Dede taught us all about the importance of kindness and giving to those in need.
With that in mind, I have decided to donate the money I would have spent on cards and presents this year to charity.
This is the best way I know of getting through this time of year without you, Nene, and more importantly of honouring you.
I know that you are in a better place and I hope that I can make you proud as you watch over me, until the time comes for us to meet again.
Love you, always and forever,
Armağan Hakan (The 1st) xxx

Our wonderful partners

Our wonderful partners - who support us with cash and services - make it possible for us to pass EVERY PENNY raised from your fundraising efforts and generous donations to our charities, including Gift Aid. Of course, we would be unable to do so without them.

What makes us wonderful?

We recognise the selfless commitment made by fundraisers who train for months to run marathons, face their fears by jumping out of aeroplanes or open their homes to the community for charity bakes and coffee mornings. We believe the charities they support should receive EVERY PENNY from their fundraising efforts.

We also believe that Gift Aid (a scheme enabling charities to reclaim tax on donations made by UK taxpayers) should be directed IN FULL to the charities. This is why the Wonderful Organisation does not generate profit (or even cover costs) by deducting money from fundraisers' sponsors or Gift Aid contributions.

We are a non-profit organisation funded entirely by like-minded, philanthropic businesses. That's what makes us wonderful!
