I'll do my best to find things of interest

Thank you all very much for your suggestions, every one of which would be a worthy nomination. However, I've decided to go with Madelaine's Porridge Club. The reasons for this are a) it's a clearly deserving case b) it is to benefit neither US or UK so no bias appears, and finally and most significantly Madelaine's "bang per buck" struck a chord.

Thanks again everyone, and Madelaine... it's all yours, go for it.

Thanks Kim......& duly noted for YDC 90



Well done Madelaine!

I did nothing except know about this particular charity - the organisation is local to me and they run a small number of charity shops (very good ones!)

They've picked up on our support on Twitter already and responded and retweeted - so this looks like being a winner all round. They've asked how they can help promote. See @YDC_Fundraising and @AfChildFund on Twitter to follow the chat.

Folks, remember if you tweet about your YDC fund raising efforts include "@YDC_Fundraiser" at the end and I'll retweet from that account for extra promotion. Don't put it at the start or only I will see it!

Madelaine, AfChildFund has asked me to pass on their thanks, and said they'll retweet during the auction. Thanks again for such a great nomination, it's lovely to have such involvement from the nominated charity. Hopefully, this will encourage everybody to join in, and to feel that their efforts will be really appreciated. Go eBidders!
