Supporting Charities

[Phil]

What charities have you supported and how?

I always donate and stuff when I see collecters on the street and I take part in stuff in college but these are the bigger things I've done:

RAG Crew 2015 in my college for Childline, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, local SPCA and a local community project. The amount raised hasn't been announced yet but we are estimating about €5000
€750 for a children's hospital by doing a skydive
€500 for Oxfam when I organised a local gig

I'm a big supporter of Parkinsons UK. I donate every month.

Sound quite bad but the only charity I've ever really donated to was habbox charity's at Christmas


However I have done charity work in the past.

Big supporter to Cancer Research, few others too, like smaller charities but my mum mainly supports them.

MIND, RAG for the past two years, a few community restoration projects, I used to volunteer at an old peoples home to read to a wonderful lady called Mary when I was younger, and I'm signed up to work with a charity involved with prisoners families based in Birmingham later this month. I'm not a fan of all the shaking tins at passers by nonsense and only tend to get involved if I can interact with or directly impact those concerned.

I always donate to Cancer which I donate 100$ every year, I know it is not much but it is the thought that counts.

I use to do something years ago called 'Jump Rope for Heart'. Everything fundraised when to The Heart and Stroke Foundation

I don't really trust large charities so don't tend to donate. Anytime I do "donate" is when a slice of what I pay goes to charity or if I don't want a bit of copper in my pocket so I just put it in a collection box.

I only donate small amounts once in a blue moon.

And I only donate to smaller charities too, most of the big charities have other agendas that they'll piss your donation up the wall on.

My parents donate to a few different charities each month. I can't think of which ones off the top of my head though (Red Cross is one of them).
