Charities for Children

Bootkidz donating to charity

Karen Henry, of Bootkidz has decided to donate a portion of profits to:

• National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children

She says: "I want to make a difference. I really feel strongly about these causes. I think every business should donate a portion of their time and effort to charity or voluntary causes. It just makes the world a better place for everyone." , Karen Henry, October 2008.
