'Giving Tuesday' 🎗 29th November



"It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving." -

Mother Teresa


“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill


Here is a music and picture quiz for your enjoyment which helps celebrate 'Giving Tuesday' on 29th November.

Before starting, discuss the role charities play in making our world a better place. 🌎

How does it make you feel to give, money or something else?

What is the best gift you ever gave or received?


If members had a spare £1m knocking around, who would they give or donate it to. It has to be one person or organisation. It doesn’t have to be a charity.
