Year in, year out I get up at an unearthly hour in order to write my column. In exchange I ask of you for nothing more than one generous donation a year to a charity of my choice. 

For a number of years my charitable causes have been truly local where any donation impacts directly and where its effect is felt and appreciated.

Last year you helped to build a new children's playground here in Great Rollright. This year I'd like to add, close to the play area and in the grounds of the village hall,  a suite of outdoor exercise equipment so that the oldies have something to play on too.

By the way, the above photo I took myself on the London Underground on July 3rd 2015.
