I work with two voluntary organizations in my spare time and support other charities:

Beavers Beavers are a part of Scouts and are aged between six and eight years old. We meet on Tuesday evenings for games, scouting activities and very popularly, food. At present there are four leaders and about 20 Beavers.
Maria
Plan International
Through Plan International, I have 'adopted' a Guatemalan girl called Maria. I hope that my sponsership will help improve Maria, and her family's, quality of life.
"Plan International has been working with poor children, families and communities in developing countries for 60 years. Throughout that time, our aim has been clear: to help those children and their families lead rewarding and fulfilling live both personally and in pursuit of long term sustainable improvements in their society."
Porch I help at The Porch one night a week.
The Porch is a small centre in East Oxford where shelter, companionship and free refreshments are offered to poor and homeless people by volunteers.
