The power of the blogging and writing communities is something I’ve never underestimated.
Ask for some support or help, and it’s guaranteed that the blogging and writing communities will gather together and help.
Needless to say, I’ve never been let down when I have asked for help or support on a writing or blogging matter. I’ve often been overwhelmed by the amount of help and support offered to me.
On December 9th, 2019, I launched my fifth annual Christmas charity appeal to the blogging and writing communities. I asked bloggers, authors and writers to leave me links to their blogs, blog posts, author pages and books. For every link left, I would donate £1 to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
I’m delighted to announce that bloggers, authors and writers helped me raise over £250.
During the last five years, bloggers, authors and writers have helped me raise over £1,250 for charity.
On behalf of Toby, Austin and myself, thank you very much for helping us raise money for charity over the last five years.

Hugh's Views & News 
Hugh, what an awesome, and meaningful organization to support.
You and your blogging friends did a wonderful job! Somewhere out there you (and your blogging friends and supporters) have saved lives, and made lives better for precious animals.
It’s a wonderful thought about saving lives and giving homeless animals a new loving home, Lea. We’ll be doing the same thing this December.
Great post! I’m new to blogging community, it’s so good to come across such amazing stuffs!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the post. It seems to have been a big hit with readers.
Very inspirational and motivational. Hugh you are doing just an amazing work.
Thank you so much, Ann.
oh my gosh! This is so inspiring! And your doggies are amazing
Thank you, Rachel. They did a great job at helping me raise all those funds for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
I have been wanting to get into the blogging community for awhile (or just the writing community, in general). Unfortunately, I’m INCREDIBLY shy and have to force myself to engage. This post, however, is very encouraging. Thank you for the kindness.
You’re welcome. I think many bloggers and writers are introverts so they can be shy in leaving the first comment. However, both the writing and blogging communities are really friendly. Not only have I made some great new friends through blogging, but I’ve been overwhelmed by the help and support both communities offer.
Thanks! If they’re as kind as you are, I’m excited to meet them, with open arms and dialogue.

How wonderful, Hugh. What a great cause. This community of writers and bloggers is amazing – I share that sentiment 100%. ❤
Thanks, Diana. They never fail to come to my call when I publish my Christmas charity appeals.
This is great. I just wish I would have known before now. I will check out your pics. Hope you have a moment to check out my blog and laugh
Thank you. I’ll be doing another Christmas charity appeal this year, so you can join in then.

This is so inspiring… I live in a part of the world where blogging is still mostly treated as a casual hobby and one of my personal missions is to get people to notice all the wonderful things one can achieve via blogging communities

Thank you, Beaton. I think this is an excellent case of how strong and active the blogging and writing communities are.
And congratulations to you for setting that up!
Thank you, Cathy.
