*This Christmas we are asking you ‘What Do You Believe In?’ to get you thinking about issues and causes you care about and then challenging you to act on this by asking ‘what are you going to do about it?’

With almost 200,000 charities in the UK working across a wide range of geographical areas and subject matters, there is bound to be a cause – or several - for you.

If everyone in the UK gave £1 more a week to charity, we could raise an extra £3.1bn a year for good causes. This would increase annual UK charity donations by almost third and would make a huge difference to the services charities could provide and the support they could offer individuals and communities across the country.

Volunteering is another way you can support causes you care about. Millions of people already volunteer their time, bringing positive benefits to themselves and the people they help.

What are you going to do about it?

Please visit the National Council For Voluntary Organisations Website to see what you could do to help UK charities in 2010.
