Good morning ,

I hope you are enjoying the run up to Christmas (or enjoying Hanukkah or other festival. Or none at all).

Times are hard for everyone in different ways. We try to do our bit here at Practical CBT by charitable donations to recognised charities locally, nationally and internationally.

We support the great work of our local foodbanks at Chorley Help the Homeless and at the Living Waters Food Bank These organisations should not be needed, but they are, and we are happy to help out. We also support Chorley Inspire Youth Zone who do extraordinary work for children around the area.

Nationally, we support Shelter because as they say, one child waking up homeless is a tragedy, 120,000 is an outrage.

Internationally, we support Medicins Sans Frontier. Their work during 2022 in Ukraine, Nigeria, Yemen, Somalia and many other countries has saved tens of thousands of lives.

Not everyone is, but if you are able, you might want to consider supporting some of these charities too.

Best wishes

Patrick
