FEATURED VOLUNTEER ACTION

Hugs of Hope

Make a difference in a sick child's life by sending them some 'Happy Mail'. This takes the form of a cheery card, mailed out to the child of your choice, in the hope that it will give them the encouragement to battle through the critical illness they have. The way it works is that you write the letter from the comfort of your own home and then you post it. It's so simple to put a smile on a sick child's face!

This action can be found here on the 'Help From Home' website
