Hangovers Vs Charity (please RT)

Trying to run a charitable / social experiment is not a good mix with moving house. In fact its not an amazing mix with a real ale hangover but these are the logistical speed bumps I was hoping to iron out in this first version of Drink Ale for Charity.

 My aim this week is to have a charity signed up to receive the 72 hours of donated time and a crystal clear idea of what we can do for them.

 In order to do this I need to do the following:

  1. I need people to think of local charities who have a problem that we could solve with the 72 hours. We then need them to send them the link to the original blog outlining what we are doing to the charity of their choice. Then we need the charity of your choice to email me - mrtomollerton (@) gmail.com with an introduction to their charity and how we could help them.

  2. I'll add these charities to the ones who have contacted me already through the Coalition. Then I will post all the different charities' pitches on this blog and I'll invite the crowd to pitch in with their comments.

  3. Once the debate is over I will ask the original donators to collectively decide on which charity we are going to help.

  4. Then "the crowd' will help decide what exactly we can do for the charity.

 I appreciate this might seem simplistic but I think this is the way forward - as ever your thoughts are welcome.

 I carry round the business cards with the donations of time in my back pocket as a reminder I need to keep on pressing on with this. If I can get all this nailed by next week I'll be a happy man so please pass this message on and see if we can't get some amazing work done for a small charity that needs it. 

 I'd also like to send massive thank yous to
