Raising Funds For Charities Throughout The UK



I decided to fulfil some my fathers wishes by designing this website, so more people could benefit from
reading and enjoying his poetry. With the help of his poems and poetry contributions from other Poets, my
aim is to raise funds for charities throughout the UK, in particular I would like to raise funds for: -
‘Cancer Charities’ and ‘Fibromyalgia Association UK’
Anyone who wishes to make a donation can donate to any charity of their choice, or the preferred choice
of one of our contributing Poets.
Our Listed Charities also include Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care,
Youth Cancer Trust, BBC Children in Need, Oxfam, Arthritis Research and more.
My fathers poetry is quite varied and reflects a lot about his life and his personality, during his 77 years of
life in the small town of Dronfield, located just a few miles south of the City of Sheffield.
There are over 125 poems, plus a story about his birth place Dronfield, covering the happy and sad years
of his life, plus a number of poems written for children, hopefully many of them will bring back memories of
the past and also a smile to your face.
If you feel that reading his poetry was worthwhile and enjoyable, then please kindly make a donation to a
charity of your choice. You can send a cheque payable to your charity or pay safely and securely online via
our Just Giving links.
Please recommend this website www.mypoetry4u.co.uk to all your friends and family and get them to
donate a minimum of just £1.00 for the privilege and enjoyment of reading all of the poetry.
Yours Sincerely
Alan Weston

HOME
Poetry 4 Charity has been designed and published in memory of my father Mr Alfred
Weston (picture right), who sadly died of cancer at the age of 77 in March 2003, at the
Ashgate Hospice in Chesterfield.
The majority of the poems listed on this website were composed by him during his
retirement and his dream was to see his poetry published into a book for everyone to
read. Unfortunately, that was never to be, because of his sudden death from Gall bladder
and Liver cancer.

THINK ABOUT GIVING
Let us help this world to become a better place,
Think about giving and helping the human race.
Think about the sick, disabled and the poor,
Think about the suffering and do we care anymore.
Think of children with cancer or those totally blind,
Think of those for whom life’s been so unkind.
Think about our children and the future they hold,
Think of the world they’ll live in when they get old.
Think about the innocent deaths, from crime and war,
Think about our lives and what we’re fighting for.
Think of abused children and those with no home,
Think of the elderly and disabled living all alone.
Think of the innocent imprisoned, longing to be freed.
Please! Think about giving and helping those in need.
