Hey Ben, great gesture - I was watching the FT so unlucky

If you search Ryder Cup, @StayOrGo Graham organises a North V South comp and I'm sure he would welcome any new players, especially charitable ones!
Donation done - looks like a very worthwhile charity & count me in for 10% of any future freeroll winnings (if you could turn that lever please @Tikay10 ). Thanks @madprof@StayOrGo

I also go out now and again (been out today as it happens) either as part of a group called Under One Sky, or on my own to help some of the homeless people in Cambridge near where I live.
Here's an article explaining a bit about what we've been doing. The idea is that we "bond" with the homeless guys as well as giving them items, food, sleeping bags, toothbrushes, dog food, hot coffee etc, but really to let them know that their lives count and they are not forgotten. We also provide details of organisations that can help get them back into the system and provide accommodation etc.
It has it's challenges, but it gives hope and although it can be difficult, it's important that they know they have a right to be happy, safe and secure as much as anyone else. Some of the stories we hear are heart wrenching, but it helps when they are listened too, without judgement, so that is what we try and do.

Ahh, I’m in Bury St Edmunds so even more satisfying that it’s local to me. There’s a huge disparity in wealth between some of the Cambridge folk and the wealth that comes with the university. I think the students are so focussed (possibly pushy parents) on their studies that they miss the real world that goes on around them.
Send me a message on twitter and if I can help sometime on one of your ‘rounds’ I’d like that. @bnjmnmyhw is my handle.

That would be great Ben!
I will send you a PM. I go out sometimes on a Monday afternoon between 1pm and 3pm, Don't know if you are at work then or not?
Also there is a more formal one on Saturday 7th March 4.30pm - 8.30pm. If you are available I can check to see if they need more volunteers.
If not we can look at other days/times that may suit you better.

What about @StayOrGo Shelter page?
Excuse my ignorance, do you have a link?

@Sunday8pm
Sorry only just seen this. Thanks for the nudge @Tikay10
Thanks so much for your donations.
Shelter is a great charity, and the webpage below is a nice way to remember my brother whilst getting some badly needed funds to a great charity:
