Your donation doubled, children’s hunger halved. This January, every new Direct Debit set up will be doubled for the first three months. This means, your gift of £15 a month will feed not 12, but 15 children for an entire year, providing the nourishment, stability, and hope every child deserves. Akshaya Patra is the world's largest school meals charity serving hot meals to over 2.35 million children each day in India. Set up monthly giving at www.akshayapatra.org.uk/donate/ | Akshaya Patra UK

You can now pay your rates for 2016–17 using our new direct debit rates payment tool, FlexiPay. With FlexiPay, you decide how often to make payments according to your budget – such as weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly. FlexiPay payments can start anytime from now until 30 September, and setting it up will only take you a few minutes. Visit www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/flexipay to get started! | Cardinia Shire Council
