Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm Alice and I am doing a sponsored 'Not Watching TV' challenge to raise funds for Kidscape which helps keep children safe from harm such as bullying and abuse, with a helpline for parents and education for youngsters.

Those of you who know me will know this is quite a big challenge because I do love watching TV.

The plan is to continue my abstinence up until Christmas Eve, hoping my target is exceeded by then.

By detuning the TV (I deleted all the channels!!) and by giving the remote control to my lovely neighbours (for safe keeping) it makes my fundraising effort authentic as the TV really cannot be watched - but I look forward very much to watching TV again once my target has been reached or even exceeded!

Some of my favourite programmes are Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, Graham Norton Show, Outnumbered, Later with Jools Holland, Holby City and the wonderful nature documentaries. In my younger years, it was Dr Who (with Tom Baker), Blue Peter, Multicoloured Swap Shop, The Wombles, Bagpuss, and I could go on ... but this is all about Kidscape and the amazing work they do to help keep children safe from harm, so please give as generously as you can.

Thank you so much, in advance, for your donations, no matter how small or large, they will all ultimately make a difference to the lives of the children and families Kidscape reaches out to and supports. You're all amazing.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

With gratitude

Alice xx
