A question about : Does Anyone Volunteer for their Local CAB?

Hi, just as the question suggests really. An opportunity has come up for me to do this but I wondered if people normally worked in their nearest CAB or preferred to work in a different one so their neighbours didn't know about it?

It sounds very cloak and dagger but it isn't. I just wandered how most people did their volunteering and if any issues arose from being recognised.

A question about : Any ideas who will give me a raffle prize?

We are holding a raffle to raise money for our PTA and need some prizes.Obviously we are contacting local shops etc, but has anyone had a any success with larger retailers, online etc who I could write to ( or preferably e mail.)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

A question about : Plastic Bags Charities Put Through Letterboxes.

We have had several of these over the years & usually I don't have anything to donate, but one charity put a bag in the letterbox three weeks ago & as I had just sorted out a load of clothing I could no longer wear, I filled the bag I had, plus two neighbours bags, with my clothing items.
The day came for them to be collected, no collector, so 2 days later I rang the number on the bag, probably at great expense as I believe it is a premium rate one.
