Christmas VIP Charity Nominations!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3663961/xmas08_topstory_icetree_snow.gif

Ho ho ho! As you may, or may not, know Habbox sponsors a Charity for the Christmas period, with all takings from the sale of Christmas VIP going towards it.

So, this is where you come in! In this thread you can nominate the charity you believe we should support this year :). Nominations will run over the next few weeks and the charity with the most support at the end will be our Christmas Charity VIP!

Cancer Research.

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is always a deserving charity to give to. They work so hard in everything they do in order to save the lives of children and our money could go to them to help them to achieve their objectives of making sure all of their patients get the medical help and attention they need x

Erm, Cancer Research :D

[Alkaz]

I personally think, at a time like Christmas it should be something like a children's hospice (http://www.childhospice.org.uk/). I know why people want us to donate to Cancer Research but unlike thousands of other charities out there, they can afford and have the power to get backing for television adverts which a lot of charities don't. I think the money we raise would make a bit more of a difference to one of those charities, rather than Cancer Research.

Christmas is normally a time for giving and sharing that's normally aimed more towards children, so why not :P

This charity, helps children that don't have anything. They give them a shoebox that we, pack with toys and colouring pens etc, and wrap up in christmas paper and send off to this charity, which they send to them who don't have anything.

Without this charity, these people wouldn't be even getting 1 christmas present

Sorry. But I've realised I've donated a shoe box to this company once. It was really emotional aswell.

Shelter - homeless charity

I agree with both these things. Shelter doesn't just help those living on the street, they try to prevent it at all costs. They give help to families who are in danger of eviction and help victims of domestic abuse.

Well, I just think no matter who we give to we will still be making an impact.

I still stick by my recommendation of GOSH though! x :)

[Nemo]

Shelter - homeless charity
Agreed with this.

Dont see much of a point giving to those with something, even more. When people have nothing go by without anything, im sure kids can go a year without christmas presents, i certainly have.

[Alex3213]

GOSH or Make a Wish- either will be lovely, infact any will be lovely as we are helping and I think anyone who has bought Christmas VIP before or helped organise this deserves a huge pat on the back from previous years.

[Neversoft]

Those of you saying no to the RSPCA make me sick!


v SOMEONE IN CHARGE GET BACK TO ME v

Anyway, how is this going to work? The one with most nominations in this thread will get picked? Or will you choose all of the nominations in this thread and make a large poll and announce it across the forum so more people get involved and we can actually see an accurate tally? Also, will just one charity be chosen? Last time it was the top three charities with the most votes and people could then purchase VIP for whatever one they desired and the money would then go to that specific charity. I quite liked that way as it made everyone happy and every little helps!

I agree with these ones. I think we should especially help children around christmas time. People who are saying no to RSPCA... Why?

[Jordan]

Animals can't change how they live, it's up to us how we treat them

[Nuxty]

I just think all the money should be divided equally amongst two or three chosen charities. Its a fairer way to do it. :)

[Conservative,]

http://www.ataxia.org.uk/data/images/blue_logo_highres.JPG

Especially at Christmas, nice to make a wish come true.

I also agree with this. I am currently in the stages of having a wish granted, and I know that it makes a real difference to ill children, it makes them feel special just for one day.

[Robbie]

I liked the way it was done last year so I think that maybe we should get the top 3 charities that people choose and do that. Also, can we try and get some acknowledgement from the charities that you can post like a few years back with Livestrong. I'm not doubting that the money does go to charity however I think that people would be more likely to do it again in future if they actually saw a thanks from the charities.

[Alkaz]

@Joe I've seen tv ads for Great Ormond Street Hospital as well, if not more :P
Yah I know, I didn't really have a charity in mind so I edited and put that as like a possibility from what I saw posted above mine. :P

[Mathew]

I think the money should go to a smaller charity rather than a large one like cancer research. Don't get me wrong, it's a very worthwhile cause, but I think it would look a much bigger donation if it went to a lesser-known charity, rather than one which recieves lots.

Then again, I do think the Make a Wish Foundation is a brilliant charity (probably because it works so closely with Disney) and I know someone who had their wish granted. So that gets my vote :)

Or the RSPCA of course!

^ SOMEONE IN CHARGE GET BACK TO ME ^

It depends on how large the majority is. If like 90% of the people in the thread favour one charity, given its been stuck in a very visible and active forum for several weeks then we'll no doubt go for that. If like last year it's pretty evenly matched, we'll either pick the top few again or put it to a final vote.

Its very early days at the moment, but it would depend on how clear the winner would be. If most people wanted one specific charity we would most likely do it that way - if not we'll do what Jamesy said above.

Help For Heros

I don't think I have to explain why really... :P
I second this, was gonna say this anyway but was beaten :(

[lTraditional]

Make a Wish gets my vote.

[AgnesIO]

I think I gave £25 to Help for Heroes last year and I still believe it is a great charity to support. However this year I would like the Charity to be one that looks after children - either African kids or kids in our own country. I will be going to Namibia to renovate a school in July, and my sister did it last year. It really was a life changing experience for her, and has helped her realise how little amounts, and help the kids there. I am currently raising £2145 to renovate another school there, but anyway.

Either that or a hospital in England who helps ill kids get better. My sister (again) went to Adenbrookes hospital when I was 9/10 seriously ill with something called 'Transverse Mylitos' (or something spelt like that!) The hospitals did a brilliant job, and I know they do for thousands of other children in Britain.

My third choice would be Help for Heroes, and I still believe this is a fantastic charity. These guys risk their lives on our behalf - surely that is one of the most courageous jobs you can do.

PLEASE do NOT do Cancer Research - they have SO many adverts etc - how can this be a worthy cause?? I know cancer is a really bad disease, but I don't think Cancer Research is going to find a cure.

---

Perhaps have one colour of VIP for each chosen cause (if three are chosen like last year).

[Chippiewill]

Perhaps have one colour of VIP for each chosen cause (if three are chosen like last year).
This got voted down last year even though I thought it was cool, because people wanted to donate to help for heroes or whatever but get the NSPCC colour so they just made it so you picked the colour and the charity separately..

Also I think a small charity should be chosen to help children somewhere..

[Mrs.McCall]

I think that one single charity should be decided on so they can get the biggest donation. I think maybe an elimination style? We could put up a poll and then whoever nominated a charity (say for example make a wish, GOSH, Cancer Research) can sort of like, give their reasons as to why they chose it then the rest of the forum can choose which one they want.

[Jamesy]

By the way guys can you make a seperate feedback thread for this sort of thing, it will make it difficult to count if you go off on a tangent mid-thread.

[Neversoft]

My mistake, last time the top five were chosen, not the top three. Every charity minus Oxfam received quite a substantial amount.

[myke]

I definitely agree with the cancer research one - but also, this is a different one I've not seen before:

The Missing People Charity
Just think, you wake up one morning to find your child isn't there anymore.
You wake up to find your Mum has gone?

You try to call them and get no answer, you can't find them - you launch campaigns, you can't find them.

It comes to Christmas and that one person you want to spent your Christmas with, you can't.

Think about a Christmas without your parents? Your child? not nice.

I think at Christmas we should think about those that may not be as lucky as us to be able to sit at the dining table with our families and share a special day - every Christmas is a sinister reminder to those families that members of their family aren't there for the festivities and to share the joy.

http://www.missingpeople.org.uk/

[Con]

oh I agree with Myke's one about the missing people charity.
It makes a very good point, we all do forget how lucky we are at christmas.

[Ajthedragon]

RSPCA. With the recession more people are deserting their animals.

[beth]

the smaller the charity, the better.
the money would be MORE appreciated, better facilitated and you'd probably see the money go to use.

for that reason alone i nominate shelter.

[Chippiewill]

I agree, users are far more likely to see how their money has been put to use rather than just: Blah blah went to cancer research,.

exactly. the most you'll receive is a generic thank you letter, i mean yeah all charity is good charity but it'd be nice to actually see the money go to use.
i am completely against cancer research getting the money btw. it's so bloody unimaginative. the charity does good work etc etc, but just cause it's the first charity that pops into someone's head, it doesn't by any means mean they do the best/most work. for example, cancer related, mcmillion nurses would be a far needier cause.

Cancer Research.

[Jessicrawrr]

Great Ormand Street Hospital, I did a show to raise money for that before so I nominate them (:

[Molly.22]

Great Ormand Street Hospital & Cancer Research would be good ones this year. Macmillan Cancer Support is a good one too, I donated to that one last year. :)

Action For Children

http://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/

i think we should do this charity because simply we are mainly all kids or teenagers we should be sticking up for each other. This charity helps kids that are having really bad living conditions and homeless kids.

[Circadia]

Can we choose local charity's ?? If so

Donnas dream house. its a hospice that would be grateful of any help they could get :)

If this wins I'll punch your dog


PLEASE do NOT do Cancer Research - they have SO many adverts etc - how can this be a worthy cause?? I know cancer is a really bad disease, but I don't think Cancer Research is going to find a cure.

Wow, I had no idea that advertising a cause made it invalid. Also cancer treatment is coming on in leaps and bounds at the moment, huge time for medical history



I'm voting Shelter, not only are they among the most compassionate charity groups around but they're helping people in our own country to make better lives for themselves when things have flown out of control. If we sort out our own extreme problems we'll be far better equipped to take on these other matters and actually make a difference doing so.

[Shar]

Great Ormand Street Hospital & Cancer Research would be good ones this year. Macmillan Cancer Support is a good one too, I donated to that one last year. :)
Yeah this! or any other cancer research charity :P

[Yupt]

This (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=669555)

Only joking, I would like to second the nomination for help for heroes, ita a charity we support at school aswell, so one I'm close to

[Chippiewill]

I was just googling around for a good cause, and this one is quite nice:
http://www.forceschildrenstrust.org/The-Trust/The-Forces-Children-s-Trust.html

[Conservative,]

I'll throw two more into the ring...

The Over The Wall foundation... A charity which runs camps for seriously
Ill kids with diseases such as cancer. I've been on 6 camps and they are amazing. Each camp is £1000 per child so every donation matters.

And..
The Pulmonary hypertension association... A charity which raises funds to research for the rare disease pulmonary hypertension - a lung condition which makes people exceptionally tired. Its appreciates all donations so yh :)

Those are two very close to me personally... In not GOSH or make a wish for me :)

[Casanova]

DO NOT DO GREAT ORMOND STREET. it's an english charity, not british which is unfair. It'd be like me nominating Yorkhill Hospital, that's a scottish only charity?
and please, no animal charities. There's three times more animal charities than charities for the disabled?

I saythe Make a Wish Foundation (http://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/) :). Bringing wishes to british children whom are severely ill.

[Jamesy]

Spam posts removed - Do not post here unless you are nominating a charity!

[Samantha]

Can we nomnate more than one? If so, I agree to no animal charities, they have enough time on the t.v. with adverts.
It should definitely be a childrens charity, like childline, action for children or the nspcc. 3 nominations there.

[Apple]

I would like to nominate Help for Heroes.

[Chippiewill]

I think we should have some more international charities, especially since habbox isn't a habbo.co.uk fansite anymore..

Charity begins at home, so for me it has to be the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Help The Heroes. Any money donated to several charities would be received with thanks, no matter how small, so I would love to see 2 or 3 charities benefit.

When sending a shoebox you are supposed to put the money in to send it off anyway. :)

Since Habbox is more of an international site now, I don't think it would be really fair to give all the money just to one UK charity, maybe we could split the money into 4, one for UK, one for AU, one for CA and one for US?

I'd like to nominate the MacMillan Cancer Support. This Charity helps support people affected by Cancer and looks at improving the social, emotional and practical impact Cancer has.

[Felix]

I recently Lost my Dad to Cancer, So Im going to say, Cancer Research.

[luce]

Something like hope for heros/orphans who need support at Christmas especially because it can be lonley if you don't have someone to share it with :) I think it should be something national/local aswell because they can sometimes get overlooked, we do have needs in the UK aswell especially with the recession etc.

[Addresses]

Help For Heroes

[Chippiewill]

Now that Habbox is international either four charities must be chosen (One for each country, US, UK, AU, CA) OR an international charity is chosen. It's the only fair way.

H4H gets enough help tbh

Anways I think we should save the japan dolphins (http://www.savejapandolphins.org/). They made a film about the dolphins in Japan called The Cove, you need to watch it because it's actually horrible what they do to these dolphins.

Donnas dream house. its a hospice that would be grateful of any help they could get :)
http://www.donnasdreamhouse.co.uk/

THIS THIS THIS!! I used to stop near that in Blackpool, it was sad and made me imagine being disabled with a life threatening illness. It made me think that they can't probably ask their parents for holidays and their parents probably can't afford it because they may not work because they are looking after the children.

Basically, they give children with life threatening illnesses a free holiday! I think local charities should be considered. It would mean more to them rather than something like Cancer Research. I know I sound a scrooge there, but it would! Cancer research has adverts etc. Donnas dream house only has a charity shop - I bought some trousers from there, they still fit. But the fact is they are willing to help. They even tried giving my Mum the trousers I got, instead of paying the price of £1. But it was for a good cause so she wouldn't take no for an answer.

I am also inclined to agree with supporting smaller local charities, it's far easier to see the difference that will be made.

This charity, helps children that don't have anything. They give them a shoebox that we, pack with toys and colouring pens etc, and wrap up in christmas paper and send off to this charity, which they send to them who don't have anything.

Without this charity, these people wouldn't be even getting 1 christmas present

posting again because i really agree with this xx and because it's in like page 2 and no one is reading page 2 now

I did this charity a while back i think its a great cause :)

why not like, instead of charity, sponser a child? or a few children, for a few years? at least that way you can see where the money goes
I absolutely love this idea; it would be great to get the letters published on HxF, etc :)
Great idea.

I am personally involved with Canteen as my sibling had cancer when he was 11 thru till when he was 15. I think it would be a great charity to support and canteen do a whole lot to help out young people living with cancer.
