give? On this page we suggest a few organizations you might like to help.
Littleton Children's Home
We don't want your money, but children's toys, books and clothes in good condition would be very
welcome.
Also-we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few
hours or days as guests. You have so much-will you share it?
Phone Sister Thomas on 55671.
Children's Hospice
We look after a small number of very sick children. This important work needs skill and love. We
cannot continue without gifts of money to pay for more nursing staff. We also need story books and toys
suitable for quiet games.
Please contact The Secretary, Little Children's Hospice, Newby Road.
Street Food
In the winter weather, it's no fun being homeless. It's even worse if you're hungry. We give hot food
to at least fifty people every night. It's hard work, but necessary. Can you come and help? If not, can
you find a little money? We use a very old kitchen, and we urgently need some new saucepans. Money
for new ones would be most welcome indeed.
Contact Street Food, c/o Mary's House, Elming Way, Littleton. Phone 27713.
Littleton Youth Club
Have you got an unwanted chair?-a record player?-a pot of paint?
Because we can use them!
We want to get to work on our meeting room!
Please phone 66231 and we'll be happy to collect anything you can give us.
Thank you!
The Night Shelter
We offer a warm bed for the night to anyone who has nowhere to go. We rent the former
Commercial Hotel on Green Street. Although it is not expensive, we never seem to have quite enough
money. Can you let us have a few pounds? Any amount, however small, will be such a help.
Send it to us at 15, Green St, Littleton. Please make check payable to Night Shelter.

Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
