Last year we donated to Ataxia but unfortunately don't have the total :(

Please post below with your chosen charity you'd like to nominate, and a little bio about introducing the charity!

Cancer Research UK - It's a cause that is always worthy of charity, it has come a long way this year in its development and progression in finding cures for cancer and it isn't the last step it's going to take this year before Habbox has its chance to donate to this fantastic charity.

Last year we donated to Ataxia but unfortunately don't have the total :(
ya don't remember seeing a thread to say it had been donated/final total
would appreciate if anyone can find that would love to know

anyways don't have a nomination as got what i wanted last year
however i will prob choose based on ones that don't get much donations, think that's important and more meaningful :)

Can think of plenty of local ones but obv everyone isn't gonna want to give their money to something that only operates near me :P

Think a good one would be Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) who do amazing work around the world but recently with a big effort being put into Yemeni and Syrian casualties as civil wars tear across those countries and always seem to hit innocent civilians hardest

HabboxForum for new skins

I agree with scottish

I've totalled up last years charity vip sales (only GBP transactions) so I've got this approximation on last years total:

£13 * 10 = £130
£7 * 7 = £49
£4 * 11 = £44
£1.50 * 19 = £28.50

Total: £251.50

if those totals are indicative of habbox's health then maybe a dignitas clinic for fansites

I'll back any charity, like the idea of lesser known ones, but if its Donkey Sanctuary then I'm afraid I can't take part - was going to say NSPCC but think it'll be nicer to use a completely new charity. lawrawrrr; could you post the nominations from last year that weren't chosen (ones that lost to Ataxia), maybe we could include them!

Is that 2007 Cancer Research meant to be 2008?
Bloody hell if not

[despect]

I think this charity is nominated every year but I don't think we've ever actually donated to them. I'm gonna go for Samaritans. I work as a listener volunteer there and we are funding solely by donations whereas some charities have money coming in already. We do a hell of a lot of work for people who are depressed, lonely, suicidal etc. The suicidal rate in the UK has gone down and I like to think that we've played a big part in that as well as other services of course.

We did a lot of work helping not only victims but family members who were affected by the tram incident very recently. So yeah I think they deserve the donations :)

Shelterbox. Charity in the uk that sends people to places where disasters happens. Helps provide basic food and shelter for people.

I like James choice as well :-)

Mind, its a close to home charity. They raise awareness about mental health and offer support for someone with mental health issues. My mum has schizophrenia and this charity has not only helped her but also me to understand what she goes through without her medication.
