Ways to Help Overseas - Charitable Causes in London and Europe

Ways we can give overseas. Charitable Causes in London and the rest of Europe. Article written by Ryan Van Wagenen of Cottonwood Heights.

Most of my focus has been on charitable efforts here in this state - With the recent attacks in London over the past year, I have been thinking a lot about ways we can help in London and throughout Europe. One great charity that is focused on helping children in London is the NSPCC. The NSPCC was founded in 1884 and the vision of the group is to end cruelty to children in London. They run a wide range of services for both children and adults, including national helplines and local projects.

That’s why it's important that we get involved and look for ways to help where we can.
