<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Franklin Gothic Book&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Obviously, in these times of recession, charities are under increased pressure when it comes to fund raising and TACT need all the help they can get to enable them to keep providing the excellent service and support to some of the most vulnerable children in today's society. </span></span></p>

Just £10 could mean a young person approaching leaving care age (15 - 18yrs) could attend one day of the Skills4Life course, a five day programme which aims to equip young people with the basic life skills they need to live independently, such as money management and managing a home.</span></span></p>
