Help for Heroes has become, in the words of the Prime Minister, a ‘National Institution’ and it is hard to believe we only started this in October 2007. Since then we have raised £1 million a month to help support our wounded servicemen and women injured in the current conflicts. We have done that with your help. This has really been something very simple, a group of friends who wanted to do something to help, that message communicated to others who have joined in and made this the success it so obviously is.
This is not about politics, there is no need to criticise or complain, why moan about it being dark when you can light a candle? We may have started something but thousands have joined us to make this what it is today. This is about ordinary decent people wanting to to do their bit to help, to raise money by joining in and so creating something that has become rather wonderful.

Make-A-Wish grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. Make-A-Wish was founded in the UK in June 1986 and, since then, we have granted over 5,300 wishes. At any given time, over 20,000 children in the UK are living with life-threatening conditions and our aim is to grant 21 wishes a week by the year 2010. Whether a wish is to be a princess or a policeman for a day, own the latest computer equipment, meet a favourite celebrity or just enjoy some special time away from home with their family, a wish come true brings so much to a child's life and provides memories for the family that last a lifetime.

Our mission statement
The RSPCA as a charity will, by all lawful means, prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate suffering of animals.

The RSPCA intends to achieve its mission by:
effecting strong branch, regional, national and international organisations dedicated to providing a public service, delivering effective relief of animal suffering and enforcing the law

working tirelessly to reduce the harmful impact of human activities on animals through education, campaigning and the application of ethics, science and law

striving for the highest levels of efficiency, effectiveness and integrity

urging that, save where the public benefit requires, humankind should not intentionally cause suffering to any animal when it is not for its own benefit, or cause suffering by neglect. This applies whatever the animal, or the situation in which it finds itself.

Saving lives at sea

The RNLI is the charity that provides a 24-hour lifesaving service around the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Our volunteer crews give up their time and comfort to carry out rescues in difficult and often dangerous conditions.

[DeejayMachoo$]

Cancer Research <3

[kuzkasate]

Cancer Research! FTW

[buttons]

make a wish of course

[Alkaz]

Cancer Research got it last year. You got to think who £450 will make the biggest difference to. CR Must get 10's of millions of donations per year because they have so much dvertising.

[Immenseman]

ok can vote now - voted rnli

[leah]

wont let me vote :'(

[Jordy]

tbh all five of them charities should be funded by the government but that's not how it works sadly so I've gone for Cancer Research.

[Wootzeh]

help for heroes

[luce]

Cancer research - they need it!

[Mathew]

Make a Wish Foundation. :)

[Kardan]

I was stuck between CR and Make a Wish, but I went for Make a Wish, because the £450 or so is going to be more useful to them, since CR get millions each year.

[efq]

Cancer research <3

[PaulMacC]

Help for Heroes, they fought for their country and got injured for it, surely for protecting us they should be cared for.

[Tristan]

Cancer research.

[Andys]

I can't vote :S
But Help for Heroes :)

[AgnesIO]

Help for Heroes.

They are the only real heroes.

[Neversoft]

RSPCA - Save the animals!

[Hushie]

I voted for RSPCA. Either that or make a wish.
Don't soldiers get money if they are injured anyway?
Just thinking that in all fairnes that is a risk they know they are taking, they're not defenseless like animals and young children :(

[J0SH]

I can't vote so +1 for make a wish foundation..

[--ss--]

Help for Heroes - Sureley the life of a solidier who fought for the country is more important than a animal?

[Titch]

Wake a wish - surely the life of someone who is ither terminaly ill or about to die is better than a animal or solider?

[buttons]

Help for Heroes - Sureley the life of a solidier who fought for the country is more important than a animal?
yeye and what about a child with a life threatening condition don't they deserve something? + help for heroes gets a million a month

[Immenseman]

rnli r second most likely 2 help u or ur family u selfish bobbas

[PaulMacC]

I voted for RSPCA. Either that or make a wish.

Okay then nobody should go out and defend the country and we'll see what happens then (I dont mean to offend you here btw) . The people who go out and fight for their countries every single day are the bravest men to walk this planet. They get money from Help for Heroes, thus why I voted.
I dont really give two bananas about animals as i'd rather have a human over an animal anyday.
I believe Help for Heroes also supplies familys of deceased soliders in war, how would it feel just to have someone gone in a flash.

I never said that? I just said they chose to join the army, animals don't choose when they are abused. I find it a bit sick that you said you don't care about animals, but y'know whatever.

Besides Xfactor just did that charity single that raised lots of money for Help The Heroes. Not saying it's a bad charity just i thought RSPCA or Making A Wish are more deserving in my opinion.

[Lee]

RSPCA Ftw... The ads are top notch...

[AgnesIO]

yeye and what about a child with a life threatening condition don't they deserve something? + help for heroes gets a million a month


I would personally rather the soldier.

The soldiers have done something to get a thanks.

[buttons]

yes they get million pound a month

[Jacktard.]

i wanna no where NSPCC is !

[Neversoft]

How much money did Habbox actually raise?

[Mikey]

CR but I wanted to vote Make A Wish too

[Mathew]

How much money did Habbox actually raise?
Habbox raised £449.50 through Christmas VIP this time round.

I voted Make a Wish. Cancer Research is very important, don't get me wrong, but they will get hundreds of donations every day, and I think Make a Wish is an under-lying charity which the money would make a bigger impact on, whereas on CR, it would simply be "another donation".

[Ostinato]

I chose RSPCA

[lPinoy]

i voted rnli but i dnt mind

[Tintinnabulate]

Recently lost my uncle to cancer so my vote goes to Cancer Research.

[Coldplay]

Make a Wish - Cancer Research doesn't go far enough.

[Immenseman]

[user130523]

Cancer Research(L)

[Alkaz]

I was going to post about that Jake. I saw it on ITV lunch time news. 2008 was the RNLI's busiest year on the british coasts. If it wasnt for them thousands would die each year. They even have to do their own fundraising to support them selves as they dont get the donations they need. £450 would really help them guys!

[lPinoy]

i voted rnli, most worthy choice tbh
i didn't vote rspca coz' although i think the amount of abuse is just sick, humans have done a greater deal than animals.
i didn't choose cancer research coz' they recieve practically millions and they've hardly done much yet in my opinion.

but the rest deserve to be given the money but i just think rnli have earn it.

[MissAlice]

All excellent causes, shame only one can benefit.

I vote Make A Wish, because even the smallest amount of any donation would go towards helping a terminally ill child have their last wish.

The RNLI is also another good cause, as these guys put their lives at risk to save others, every day of their working lives.

[AgnesIO]

RNLI is a good cause, but so is Help for Heores, they both put lvies at risk!

I really do think to not giev it to Cancer Research, £450 is nothing to them.

[e5]

RSPCA !!!

[--ss--]

Hmm thinking about it I believe RNLI should get it, don't get me wrong about all the other charities but they all seem to be quite large in their own right and recoqnized by many so they are bound to get regular donations from people. Where as RNLI seem to be quite small but they seem to do alot for the community and risk their own lives to save others, most other charities probably get hundreds of people donating to them every day but I doubt RNLI get many nationwide large sums, most likely a few pounds here and there from locals so i think that should also be taken into account.

[Titch]

Thing is we want to give it to a charity that will apprenciate it, Small ones like RNIL and Wake a wish will do that, cancer research wont, its only a very small amount to them whereas to others its huge.

[Alkaz]

Such a shame to see that people cant see the real work that the RNLI do on such small funds. The other four are majorly publicised with television adverts and singles being released by the X factor for money.

[lPinoy]

is it being decided by the poll?

cause i hardly think cancer research deserve it or need it, they practically earn millions.

[Ohirian]

I have to agree, I don't think it should go to CR.

[Alkaz]

Exactly. Yes it is, CR is definately a worth cause but they get much larger donations which is something that the RNLI certainly dont get and are committed to stopping people loosing their lives almost instantly.

[--ss--]

vote for RNLI and get +rep xox

[Alkaz]

And from me (A)

[Middlesbrough]

I've voted cancer research, my auntie died of cancer a few months ago, so this is the reason i voted.

[Hazza]

Cancer Research.

[lPinoy]

vote for RNLI and get +rep xox


And from me (A)

and me
(35)+rep in total.

[Jordan:A]

I think you should half it and give it to 2 charitys

[PaulMacC]

Next year I think Christmas VIPs should only me aloud to vote :P

[Minstrels]

Help for heroes. Cancer Research has loads of celebrity names backing it, I'd rather it go to a less advertised charity which also helps injured people out in the war.

[Cixso]

Cancer research is fake.

I read this document once whilst I was in college, it said something like this:


Humans have to potential to live 200 years without serious illness - yet we die on average 80 years old.

Cancer research employs a lot of people, and they get on average $3.3B a year for research, however 80% of this goes to peoples wages and only 20% goes into product production.

Cancer has already been researched, but they do not give it out because it is the worlds most biggest financial medical production. The government earna **** load from it.

I don't have the article anymore - nor am I saying it is true. Make your own minds up/opinions.

[Pebbles-Tiger]

I love animals but I feel That Concer Research is pretty dang improtant right now. Ive known many people that moms had cancer and yea its sad. We want to find a cure <3

[Jordy]

is it being decided by the poll?

cause i hardly think cancer research deserve it or need it, they practically earn millions.Yeah well I don't think Labour should of won the last election yet they went along with the polls. It's HabboxForum not Zimbabwe, of course they'll go with the poll as that's what the majority wants.

[InHabbo]

i hope the oney goes to cancer research as they have helped some members of my family who have had cancer.

keep up the good work =]!! :eusa_clap

[--ss--]

I believe for the past 2 years we have donated to Cancer Research, the money doesn't mean much to them as they will get someone else giving them a 100 times as much as we would.
To me it seems like Cancer Research is more of a business than a charity and has been majorily comercialized.


Tbh only the people who actually baught xmas VIP should be allowed to vote.

[Sammeth.]

Everyones allowed an opinion because Habbox is a community and we want to allow everyone to have an input to a final decision. It's not fair to single out a group of people and allow them to vote while everyone else can't as that will bring on arguments and it just isn't fair, nor is it necessary. Just because it isn't going the way you want it to doesn't mean only a select group of people should vote. It doesn't work that way in normal society so it won't work that way at Habbox.

[DJ::Beatz]

I chose Make a Wish because cancer research may give money to research cancer for future patients, but a Wish for a current patient I think is better.

[FlyingJesus]

Wow I can't believe so many people have voted for RSPCA over these other charities. You know something's wrong with society when people would rather save a rabbit than a human.

[nvrspk4]

Wow I can't believe so many people have voted for RSPCA over these other charities. You know something's wrong with society when people would rather save a rabbit than a human.

Is it though, are animals any less than humans? Simply because we hunt them doesn't make their lives worth less.

Last time I checked rabbits don't kill their own.

Its all about your outlook on the world, its not necessarily a failing of society - the biggest failing of society is that we essentially cannibalistic in that apart from natural causes humans are much of the reasons for other humans' deaths.

I'm not saying that until we've perfected the Human Race we should then go and cure animals, I'm simply saying that most Charity work should go to Human related Charities or something like Wikipedia which I'd actually see the benefits of every day.

I'd put a fair wager that all these people who have slated Cancer Research have never lost anyone to Cancer?

[FlyingJesus]

Non-humans, with the possible exception of dolphins, are by no means sentient and don't even understand the "suffering" that happens to them, whereas human suffering is fairly well noted and felt not only by the individual but also all those around them. This isn't the place for such a debate though.

More to the point though, surely if we sort out the human race we'll be more equipped to help animals ;)

Exactly. All in a nutshell.

That's your choice, you saying that for you human-based charities are more important to you is fine, saying that something is wrong with someone who believes in preventing animal cruelty is another thing. After all, it is humans who cause animal cruelty ;) It is beneficial to us to prevent our culture from becoming savages, just the moral value is different for all. Plus, almost all serial killers enjoy torturing animals. Personally I am inclined towards human based charities however just because someone else feels more strongly about preventing humanity from disintegrating by preventing animal cruelty doesn't make society a failure.

I don't think anyone is slating the cause - but instead slating the organization and their inefficiency towards a certainly worthy cause.

And if we catch those torturing animals we can stop 80% of serial killers :D

What happened to the RNLI -cry-

[Traume]

Animals are different you say? Have you not forgotten we were all monkeys? They have everything we do, they breathe, they think, have families, communicate.
Like us.

But they should not suffer.

I think giving to charity is nice anyway but the money should go to those who die to save our and other countries freedem,

[Nixt]

Help for Heroes without a doubt! The men and women who fight for this country deserve more than they are given.

[DannyyTBH.]

RNLI! Pls!

Been a member since i was 2!

The monkey theory is not actually 100% true.

A program with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution talked about it.
