Volunteer with Alzheimer's Society this Christmas

Hard to know on a web site if someone is genuine or not. You mention you are christian minded, and so I am wondering if u you are connected to a church or some group, other than yourself that could vouch for you, such as a previous church you have been a member at, or may be a registered charity that people could check with. I think you will understand why people are being careful, and rightly so. I have previously offered to try and help people, and was very genuine, yet people's concern about who I was stopped people contacting me. One think I was told either by the police or social services is provide a lane line number and a home address as this can provide some reasurance that if there is a problem you can be traced. Anyone can have a mobile and a land line. Sadly into days world we have to be very careful about giving out names of vunerable people to people we do not know and careful about inviting people into our homes that we don't know.

Until GNHQ gets around to deleting your 'many' messages I will tell you that you are mistaken if you think GN posters are fooled by a person that is willing to self promote themselves as you have done on a thread where a poster has lost her parent.

If your post is by any chance connected to a genuine group then all I can say is you are doing the cause no favours, if as I suspect it is not, you are merely an irritant.
