What are you giving up?

Did you start the year as you meant to go on, was your January dry or did you have a vegan diet detox? Do you remain focused and continue your new year habits into the following months or perhaps you take a slightly more gentle approach in the new year and aim to give something up for Lent.

With Shrove Tuesday fast approaching – be there at our pancake race March 4th – have you mulled over ideas of what you might give up in the run up to Easter?

We’ve got some ideas for you. If you find yourself reaching for the chocolate or snacks, or feel you need a break from caffeine, perhaps you could consider donating these instead to the foodbank.

Looking to hold on to your sweet treats however but would consider giving up to give by donating 40p for 40 days – see our poster for more details.
