Charity work

​Charities need our help so much so I try to make items to send to charities that mean something to me personally.

I have asked permission from the charities below if I can feature them on my website and they were very happy for me to help spread the word about them.

Peyton Heart Project

The Peyton Heart Project is raising awareness about suicide , depression and bullying. It was named after Peyton, a 13 year old boy who sadly took his own life after years of being bullied. People make hearts with tags attached to them and leave them around their own towns for other people to find. This is an act of kindness which will hopefully brighten someones day.

If you would like to help by making hearts, go to the website and download the quotes file for the tags at www.thepeytonheartproject.org. You will also find the FAQ page extremely helpful too.
