Working for
A Way Out I know that I couldn’t function without making a to-do list. I have even been known to add things to my
list that I have just completed, simply for the satisfaction of proving the
task is accomplished and the fulfillment of placing a big tick beside the
chore!
Psychologists
speak of the benefits of list-making in terms of reducing anxiety and enhancing
performance encouraging non-list makers to give it a try.
Christmas is
the prime list making season – children writing wish lists to Santa cataloguing
hopeful dreams of treasures to be found beneath the tree; gift shopping lists;
food shopping lists; card writing lists.
Checking it once and checking it twice, just to make sure no task and no
one has been forgotten. If list-making
reduces stress, now is definitely the time to start the habit.
A Way Out’s
Christmas list includes 200 selection boxes; seasonal food for over 100
Christmas food parcels; around 100 special individual gifts for the women and
girls on our caseload; securing cash donations to provide a special Christmas
dinner for our clients to enjoy together around a table. Many of our clients don’t appear on any other
list.
Could you
donate to support our clients? Why not place A Way Out on your Christmas to-do
list and feel the satisfaction, when you place that big tick beside the
completed task, in the knowledge that you have also helped to make Christmas
special for someone who may not appear on the list of anyone else.
In order to
distribute in time we need to receive donations by 14th
December. For further information
please contact info@awayout.co.uk
