Have a heart
and help a great cause this
Gold Heart Day
14 February 2012

The day is organised by The Variety Club Children's Charity. Established in 1949, the charity helps sick, disabled and disadvantaged young people. To date they have raised over £200 million - an amazing achievement - and helped change the lives of more than a million young people.

The idea on the day is to buy and wear one of their famous Gold Hearts, not just to raise money, but to also raise awareness of this amazing cause.

In previous years celebrities like Ricky Gervais and Alesha Dixon have showed their support, and you can too.

Every day in the UK 75 children are born or diagnosed with a disability, and your money goes towards organising outings, providing wheelchairs and equipping children's hospitals.

At the official Variety Club website, you can find out more about the amazing work of the charity and learn more about volunteering and getting involved.

So take part and have a heart this Gold Heart Day!
