Gok’s charity of the month – June: The Haemophilia Society – Talking Red

Posted on June 1st, 2014 in Charities

The Haemophilia Society  - Talking RedA very happy June to you all my lovelies!

Wow this year has flown by, I am currently writing to you from down under in Melbourne where I’m filming right now.

As you know every month I have a special charity I like to tell you about because I feel that there are many causes that don’t get the exposure and recognition they deserve, and unfortunately there are many many people who are in desperate need of charity and I feel it is our duty to do what we can to help. I think this months charity, The Haemophilia Society, epitomises what is not only great about charity, but also why platforms such as this are so important to let the world know what charities are out there and how we can help. Please take a moment to read about their incredible work and particularly a new campaign called Talking Red which deserves so much support.

Love you guys and thanks for reading.

Gok’s charity of the month – May: Great Ormond Street Hospital

Posted on May 8th, 2014 in Charities

Great Ormond Street HospitalHello my lovelies!

There is very little I can say about this month’s charity of the month that hasn’t already been deservedly said. Great Ormond Street Hospital is just one incredible place where kids who have some of the most terrible illnesses are given care above and beyond what you could ever imagine. There is no child who wants to spend their youth in hospital but GOSH gives them a place where they can come and feel safe and know they will get the best treatment available.

Gok’s charity of the month – April: Ditch The Label

Posted on April 1st, 2014 in Charities

Ditch the LabelYou all know I hate bullies. I hate school bullies, work bullies, family bullies, I hate all of them. It doesn’t make you stronger, it doesn’t make you more important and it certainly doesn’t make you a better person. Every day I fight bullies. Whether thats the bullies of my past that still haunt me, the bullies on twitter, or helping amazing charities like Ditch the Label enable everyone to realise that nobody deserves to be a victim- we all deserve to be happy and I hope you join me in fighting for everyones happiness no matter who you are.

Please read on and see how you can help. loads of love xxx

The Peter Tachell FoundationHey guys, welcome to February the month of Valentines day and big thick jumpers and snuggling by the fire! Love it! I want to introduce you to the Peter Tatchell Foundation. I have known of Peters work for quite some time and couldn’t speak more highly of the gentleman that he is and also the passion and drive which has led his campaigns for so many years!

So here is a salute to Peter and his foundation – please support them in whatever way you can. Loads of love, your auntie Gok x

Gok’s charity of the month – December: Save The Children

Posted on December 2nd, 2013 in Charities

Save The ChildrenHello my lovelies! It’s really starting to get Christmassy now, especially as I start panto rehearsals today! Whilst most people are putting up trees and buying presents there seems no better time to put it all in perspective and remember how lucky we are that we and our children are safe, well and free to grow up with all the aspirations and dreams we deserve. Unfortunately this is not the case for millions of children in this country and around the world, which is why I have chosen my charity of the month for December as Save The Children. On December the 13th is Save The Children’s Christmas Jumper Day. I hope, like me, you can find the time and get involved to help children have the start in life they deserve. Thanks guys. hugs and kisses xxx
