Help support Ovacome this festive season with a few of the below:

1. Buy Ovacome Christmas cards

2. Send our Christmas jewellery as presents

3. Donate by texting 70070 with the message OVAC00 followed by the amount you wish to give (ie OVAC00 £10).

4. Go Carol Singing

5. Set up a standing order

6. Have a Christmas games evening and winners (or losers) can donate

7. Sell unwanted presents using eBay for charity

8. Go green and use Ovacome recycling services

9. Hold a mulled wine and mince pie evening

10. Sign up for a challenge in the New Year

11. Write or review your will, and think about leaving a legacy

12. Hosting Christmas dinner- why not ask loved ones to make a small contribution?

Hi Sonia. Thank you for the ideas. I will definitely follow up at least one of them.

And a Merry Christmas and a sincere thank you to everyone on the Ovacome team for all the support and for providing us with this space to vent, share our worries and our good news, and do silly things!

I've just ordered my Christmas Cards. Lovely designs. I'm also looking at some events - please let us know when those blank Ovacome posters have been designed for us to print out and add our fundraising event as these help enormously to formalise fundraising.

I for one won't give on the door unless callers have a proper collection box. Hey this makes me think do you have wrappers for collection boxes or collection boxes per se. Can I buy one? Babs had this great idea of penny pots - I'd be happy to have an Ovacome Collection Box in my home and then I could use it for fund-raising activities.

I echo Linda's thanks to the team - and to the trustees and all those behind the scenes that make this site possible. It's a lifeline to many of us.

I like the idea of text donating, could even put a message to that effect in my christmas cards.

Can you tell me if there is an additional charge for this service, or is it just your standard message cost (plus the donation amount of course!)?

Thanks

Hello VickyEm and Annie,

The text service is free from all networks and helps make donating so much easier!

We also have blank posters I can send out- just drop me an email with the bits you need and I can pop them in the post!
