“Please Take One* gives a very vivid description of what life is like for those who are poor, plus shocking facts about food wastage, rainforest destruction and climate change. However you are not left in despair because the whole book has a very “can do” approach and every chapter ends with imaginative and life changing suggestions of what you can do to make a difference. Whatever kind of person you are, and whether you feel most strongly about local issues or international problems, there will be several inspiring ideas that you could put into practice.”

“This book reminds us how we can help others and how important it is to be involved in the process. The authors description of his involvement with disabled children is very moving and immediately one can see the difference he has made. We are only ever as strong as our weakest link. Support that and we all thrive. Makes sense. Why not try and think of ten things you could do this week that would make a difference.”
