The Wee Box

During Lent you'll often hear from people about what they're giving up - alcohol, sweets, chocolate, curry etc.

I've done variations on that in the past (I now drink tea without sugar after a Lenten pledge in 1981 to give up my 2 teaspoons of sugar - a pledge I expected to abandon come Easter Sunday only to discover that sugary tea by then tasted disgusting :-)

This year I decided not to 'give up' but to 'give away' or 'give' something every day. Sometimes it will mean giving some actual thing away, but for days that's not possible or practical, I have the SCIAF Wee Box handy to pop loose change into.

Other collection boxes from other charities are available - as they say on the Beeb.
