			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-71" title="tweegies-avatar-sml" src="http://www.stewartpriest.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tweegies-avatar-sml.png" alt="tweegies-avatar-sml" width="173" height="156" />One of the great things about the web is that it empowers all sorts of people to go out and make a difference. Sometimes that difference isn&#8217;t world-changing, but it&#8217;s a difference all the same. We get the chance to air our views, and with the birth of the blog, we have a permanent platform for any issue we wish to shout about.</p>
<p>Today, I&#8217;m calling on the readers of my blog to help a charity which is very personal to me: No Strings Attached (Scotland). The reason I&#8217;m using my blog to promote this charity is because I&#8217;m trying to drum up enough votes to enable them to be appointed as the official charity of the Glasgow Twestival. What&#8217;s a Twestival? It&#8217;s a Twitter Festival. Basically, there will be an evening of music and fun at a venue in Glasgow city centre which will hopefully raise lots of money, and I&#8217;d love for No Strings Attached Scotland to be the recipient of the proceeds. It&#8217;s a very worth charity.</p>
<p>No Strings Attached (Scotland) aims to help children and young people with asthma better control their condition through playing wind instruments like the flute, clarinet, etc. It helps increase lung capacity and stamina, and I know from personal experience that it works. They also aim to educate children and young people about their condition, and steps they can take to help themselves.</p>
<p>Please vote for No Strings Attached (Scotland) <a title="Vote for NSA Scotland!" href="http://tweegies.uservoice.com/pages/23402-glasgow-/suggestions/260371-no-strings-attached-scotland-" target="_blank">here</a>, and you can listen to my personal plea on the charity&#8217;s website <a title="me on the NSA Scotland website" href="http://www.nostringsattachedscotland.org/?p=99" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
