A little bit about the calendar

Earlier this year, White Stuff began a search to find the best looking blokes in Britain. The winners would model in our first ever charity calendar.

Hundreds of votes were cast online and entries were whittled down to just 12; a gorgeous man for every month of the year.

The final 12 came to London for an exclusive photo shoot and the UHT (Udderly Hot Totty) charity calendar was born. All this fun had one important reason behind it; all proceeds from sales will be donated to the White Stuff Foundation that supports over 80 local charities.

The spiral-bound calendar measures 25cm x 25cm and features a different hunk for every month. It a mid-term calendar that begins in June 2012 (because June is the new January, don’t you know!).

You can find out more information about the calendar (and buy one!) here

And it’s always good to hear when a retailer is going the extra mile for charity so when we heard that fashion retailer Coast are supporting Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 2012, we wanted to give them a shout out!

Coast are donating 30% of sales of the three gorgeous dresses above to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer which means looking and feeling great has never been so worthwhile.

And if you buy through easyfundraising, you’ll also raise 2.5% for your own good cause too!

So with this in mind, our team of technical elves came up with ‘Find & Remind‘ - a very simple solution to the problem.

Here’s how it works: once you download the Find & Remind tool, you’ll get a little reminder at the top of your screen when you visit a retailer that we work with, letting you know that a donation is available:

Simply click on that reminder message and it will activate the donation link – so when you make your purchase, your cause will receive the donation:

And if you search the web with Google or Yahoo,  our partner retailers are clearly highlighted in the search results, showing you which retailers will donate to your cause when you shop with them:

It’s pretty simple but very effective – members using Find & Remind are raising up to 5 times more for their cause.

50p donation when you try it

We’d love to know what you think of it  – and as a thank you for trying it out, we’ll donate 50p to your good cause when you install it.

Click here to start using Find & Remind – and please let us know what you think!

“I volunteer every Friday and I absolutely love it. I get there at about 9am along with volunteers Kayleigh, Aimee, Chelsea, Billy and Leanne and Carol and Carolyn, the managers.  First job is to catch, groom and tack up the horses (I didn’t even know what any of this meant when I first started, but the staff and other volunteers were helpful and very patient!). Lessons begin at 10 and I help to lead the horses.

The volunteers at WRDA

Jenny and Sam

“The first lesson is with Jenny. Jenny has muscular problems so she rides with a sheepskin instead of a saddle. This helps with her stiff joints as the heat from her horse Sam eases her muscles. Also the movement of Sam walking mimics the movement she would make if she was able to exercise, which helps to loosen her very tight muscles. Sam is brilliant with her as she is only really held on by her two carers.

Jenny is a character and all of us (staff, volunteers, her carers and other riders) have a laugh when she is around! Even when she is too unwell to ride, she comes along to see us and sit and watch, and makes sure we know she is there.

Pam and Amber

“Riding on Amber is Pam who spends a lot of the time naming delicious and fatty foods; I am always starving by the end of the lesson! She also chases Jenny around the school and we have a lot of fun seeing who will win this week!

Natalie and Caroline

“Once Jenny and Pam are finished, we change Sam back into his saddle ready for Natalie and Caroline. Natalie rides Sam and she loves to scrunch things up in her hands. We are working on getting her to hold the reigns herself.  Sometimes she finds riding Sam so relaxing, she even falls asleep whilst in the saddle! Caroline rides Amber and is a massive fan of Katie Price (I think it has something to do with the equestrian link!), and a good rider.

Kathryn and Oliver

Oliver on Amber

“Third lesson of the day is Kathryn, Oliver and Gill, another volunteer. Kathryn is a wonderful lady, she is so funny and together with Sam they have an interesting ride (neither of them seems to like corners!).

Oliver is a brilliant rider, and on Amber they are mesmerising to watch, especially when practicing dressage. Gill rides whichever horse needs a bit of work, and has recently been riding Wakefield RDA’s newest pony, Louis, who doesn’t like corners either. (I like to pronounce his name Louie as he has a moustache and looks very French).

“We then take the horses back up to the yard, untack them, and they are usually turned out into the field. This takes us up to lunch time, when we all have a break, some food and a natter! After this there are yard jobs to do, such as mucking out stables, skipping out the corrals or the worst job; skipping out the field! After all the mucky jobs are done, we tidy up and head home for a hard-earned soak in the bath!”

WDRA rely on donations, fundraising and volunteers and on average, need to raise £70,000 per year to continue running. They are always looking for new ideas! You can support them when you shop online via easyfundraising – click here
