“The recent campaign to Back Britain’s Charities is something we should all get behind in some way.
“Residents may wish to start contributing to the work of charities in North East Beds financially or through volunteering and giving up personal time to help.”
Gift Aid is another way to help.
Mr Burt added: “The ability to Gift Aid is easy – take a look at the website to get all the information you need.”
