Every year my employers have a nominated local charity, and ours is Ben's Den, based in ilkeston.

This October I am going sober! all proceeds will be donated to Ben's Den charity.

Everybody knows I like a drink. So I'm putting the pint glass down, not touching a drop of Sangre de Toro and giving it up for the month.

Please donate whatever you can. it will be hugely apprecited by myself, but more importantly the charity. if you'd like to find out more this is their website - http://www.bensden.com/
