Bonus: I’ve included photos of cute dogs in this post.
"I have goods to give!"

- Barnabas is looking for donated goods and clothing to help support its work with the homeless. Items that would be welcomed include socks, sleeping bags, shower gel, toothpaste, biscuits, tinned goods, toys, and shoes.
* All those Christmas gifts you receive that you want to return or throw away? Well, Looking After Our Elderly , a charity based in Edinburgh, is looking for donated prizes for raffles and competitions to help raise money, so why not give it to a good cause instead? Don't live in Edinburgh? Drop off your (good quality) unwanted gifts in a local charity shop on the high street instead!
* There are a number of volunteer opportunities on the website of homelessness charity Emmaus 's website, and you can also donate old furniture to help raise money. "By donating the items you no longer need from your home to Emmaus, you're helping to provide a home to someone who needs it," the site states.
"I like dogs!"

- The Cinnamon Trust is in urgent need of dog walkers and short-term fosterers in places such as Wales and Sheffield. Walking a cute dog + helping the elderly = perfect.
* To help Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is very easy: Type in your postcode on their website and a ton of results will come up, such as PUPPY SOCIALISING, fundraising and events, and dog fostering.
* Lots of people will be needing someone to look after their pets over the Christmas period, and for just a short fee per year, you can sign up to Borrow My Doggy and volunteer. Side note: I have signed up to this site and it is indeed a great thing if you wish you had a dog of your own and you stalk other people's dogs in public.
