<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit the DfE 125x125&nbsp;JustGiving page.</p> <p>I and some other colleagues (some in teams) across the Department for Education are raising money for the Civil Service Benevolent Fund.&nbsp; A great charity that helps past and present civil servants and their families through tough times.&nbsp; Take a bit of time to have look at their short film below.&nbsp;</p> <p>This year they celebrate 125 years and we thought we would get at least 125 people across the Department to each do at least 125 things, for example I am running (or stumbling through) 125 miles, other people are swimming, making cakes etc with the overall aim of making &pound;1250 for the charity in this special year.</p> <p>You can sponsor us as a group or individually through this page and see what each of the teams have been up to.</p> <p>If you want more information on how to donate directly or find out more about benefitting from the work of the fund please check out their website at <a href="http://www.csbf.org.uk/">http://www.csbf.org.uk/</a>&nbsp; and keep checking this page for more information about what the teams are up to.</p> <p><a title="blocked::http://www.csbf.org.uk/volunteer/making_lives_better" href="http://www.csbf.org.uk/volunteer/making_lives_better" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;">we have launched a brand new film, "Making Lives Better"</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;">,</span></strong></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
