A kind review

Brighter Sines, a local charity is offering you an opportunity to put a smile on a child’s face. The charity which has been in existence since July 2013 focuses on providing support, comfort and giving help to children in the surrounding communities. They are able to change the lives of young children by raising funds through donations from well wishers and corporate organizations as well. Donations to Brighter Sines vary and can include toys and even equipment that are donated to various organizations such as children hospices, charities and hospitals within the South East.

The founders of Brighter Sines, Maurice Sines and James Crickmore are passionate about children in the community, hence the idea to start the charity. Most times, charities depend solely on donations from different sources to survive and life can become hard when the funding is not forthcoming. Brighter Sines, hopes to continually fill this gap by making sure that they encourage people to donate to their charity, so that they can forward the money to needy causes. All the money collected by the founders by well wishers goes to deserving hospitals or charities that cater for children’s needs.

Majority of the funding that Maurice Sines and his co-founder have raised so far is through events. The events which have taken place in different places in the South East include fun days, Christmas dinners, and coffee and cake mornings among others and have largely been successful in fund raising.  As a way of having a continuous stream of funding for their various causes, Brighter Sines will release their 2014 events calendar on their website for the benefit of those who want to participate and help raise funds for the children in the community.  

Apart from attending events planned by Brighter Sines, involvement with the charity can be done in a number of ways. The most common avenue is through sending in donations of as little as £1 which can be used to buy a child a teddy. However, larger donations from business as well as the community are encouraged to make a huge difference in the lives of children in hospices and even hospitals. Another way to add value to the great work being done by the charity run by Maurice Sines and James Crickmore is through volunteering. Volunteers go a long way in assisting in the several visits that the founders make to diverse charities in the area.
