Five Christmas messages from charities
Howard Lake | 20 December 2014 | Blogs
Once it was just the Queen and the Pope who delivered a Christmas message. Then Channel 4 introduced an alternative Christmas message. Now it seems anyone can produce their own Christmas message.
Which is an opportunity that plenty of charities are taking. Here are some examples of them thanking their supporters, sharing some of their achievements over the past year, and looking ahead to 2015.
