However, what we can and have done is to ensure that thousands of the most vulnerable people in and around London will gain vital help that they would otherwise have been denied.” * **[Automotive PR runs Twitter vote to choose charity recipient of £13,000 worth of PR](https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/05/23/automotive-pr-runs-twitter-vote-to-choose-charity-recipient-of-13000-worth-of-pr/)**( 23 May 2013) * **[Old shoes raise funds for Tommy’s at Brantano](https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/05/23/old-shoes-raise-funds-for-tommys-at-brantano/)**( 23 May 2013) * **[Google announces shortlist for UK £500k Global Impact Challenge](https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/05/25/google-announces-shortlist-for-uk-500k-global-impact-challenge/)**( 25 May 2013)
