give? On this page we suggest a few organizations you might like to help.
Littleton Children"s Home
We don"t want your money, but children"s toys, books and clothes in good condition would be very
welcome.
Also-we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few
hours or days as guests. You have so much-will you share it?
Phone Sister Thomas on 55671.
Children"s Hospice
We look after a small number of very sick children. This important work needs skill and love. We
cannot continue without gifts of money to pay for more nursing staff. We also need story books and toys
suitable for quiet games.
Please contact The Secretary, Little Children"s Hospice, Newby Road.
Street Food
In the winter weather, it"s no fun being homeless. It"s even worse if you"re hungry. We give hot food
to at least fifty people every night. It"s hard work, but necessary. Can you come and help? If not, can
you find a little money? We use a very old kitchen, and we urgently need some new saucepans. Money
for new ones would be most welcome indeed.
Contact Street Food, c/o Mary"s House, Elming Way, Littleton. Phone 27713.
Littleton Youth Club
Have you got an unwanted chair?-a record player?-a pot of paint?
Because we can use them!
We want to get to work on our meeting room!
Please phone 66231 and we"ll be happy to collect anything you can give us.
Thank you!

We offer a warm bed for the night to anyone who has nowhere to go. We rent the former
Commercial Hotel on Green Street. Although it is not expensive, we never seem to have quite enough

| Exploit your parking space An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to ?200 or ?300 a week. Put an advertisement(广告)for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark. Rent(出租)a room Spare room? Not only will a lodger(房客)earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed "rent a room" program, you won"t have to pay any tax on the first ?4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy. Make money during special events Don"t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.

A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free-but you will be charged if your home gets picked. Use your roof You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof. | ||||||
