If getting involved with a church isn’t for you, then there are plenty of other opportunities to do something worthwhile during Advent which will keep alive the spirit of the season. In winter, in particular, North East foodbanks and homeless charities need extra support and volunteers. National organisations like Cafod, Oxfam, Save the Children and the NSPCC often ask for additional support but sometimes you need to apply well in advance so, if this is for you, perhaps you should investigate now. Perhaps you could organise a sponsored “Wear a Christmas Jumper to Work Day” and donate the proceeds to a relevant cause?
