Do you give to charities?

I was just wondering how generous Habbox members were :)
If you do give to charitie, how do you do it? By donations? Buying the wristbands etc? Or maybe a different way.
If you don't give to charity, I want to know why...and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
Share it with everyone :)

i mainly just do it threw school etc, athogh im not font of big charitys that wasit more money on teh advetisng and paying staff than they actaly use to help people, its the smaller charities that do focused work, that make the differnce to people, so i support them when i can.

I bouught a cancer research bade that charity? :P

Occassionally i give, but not always.

I give through charities through my school... I just give extra pennies

It's great that you all give something to charity. Just remember....Every little helps!

I sometimes have some spare change so i put in tubs / boxes where i see them

I always give to charity even if its my last 1p

If i see someone collecting money then i will give them some money becuase its not like they are getting paid for what they do and your money is going to people who really need it. If i did spend it on my self it would be on like a new shirt or something which i really dont really need but by giving it to charity its going to people who need it.

I normally do - but my friend gives like all his pocket money to charity !
Mad...

No i don't, for all i know it could be going to some idiot druggy who is a fricken idiot.

I occaisonally when I've got some extra cash on me. When was the last time.......

I have the LiveStrong band and my mum donates to cancer research, I usually put change I get when buying something in the the box by the till. But I usually don't have enough money left over to donate.

i do lots :) its for good causes

I sometimes give to charity but not always. It depends what charity it is.

I give to charities the most as I can becase some people don't have a good life as I do and I said that everybody in the world deserve a good life, including them.

Hmm I dont actually ring the charities up and give them money over credits card, but if i see someone collecting in city centre for a charity i drop some money in :p (if they look like theyre actually going to be giving the money to charity :p)

I do give to charities, When I was in secondary me and a couple of my mates organised charity rounders every year for cancer research and we do gigs at college for St Julias hospice. I like giving to charity.. Anything from putting my spare change in the pot to gonig around houses distributing poppies for Memorial day. Charities are a great lifeline for alot of people, and i think supporting them is are way of giving back into society.

Can I just add that your poll makes people who do not give to charity seem greedy. That may be your opinion, but some people cannot afford to give to charity, and need the charity themselves.

You make the first option seem more appealing, the second one average, but not that good, and the third one terrible.

I have bought various bands, put loose change in boxes at tills, but haven't gave money to things such as Comic Relief over phone with credit cards. Maybe I will this year, we will have to see.

Yes, it's biast towards giving money to Charity.
Like most have said, I give when I can, not all of the time but I will put the odd money in a box or buy a band now and then but I don't go overboard.

the only thing that i have done is buy one of those thierry henry stand up speak up racism bands out if the highbury arsenal shop lol

I do sometimes, but i dont give to the homeless in Loding because god knows where the money goes to.

my granma died of cancer so if i see them i drop money in but i ALLWAYS see some id and chairty registery certificate

i dont mind paying up but these bands are really bloomin gettin to me!

There making a pink cancer research band now.. Great cos I love to support them.. and hey Pink.. Ive already ordered one!

I give about £5 every two weeks to each one of these charitys
Oxfam
Cancer Research
NSPCC
RSCPA (well £6 to them)

I Dont Alot Just Sometimes When Its in My School Etc..

I think its important we all do something

I want you all to realise that we CAN make a difference by giving to charity... If everyone just donated like £1 to a charity, you probably won't notice but it really does help!. So as Tesco would say.... 'Every Little Helps!'

I agree, they have a band now for vertaly everything that existsts, im suprised they havent run out of colours yet.

NEVER MINE ALL MINE!

I'm a charity, thats what all the boys call me at school. 'get away you charity case' or 'sad case' Penny for the poor?

well, liek my mum has always said, charity begins at home... :D so no :D

I give to charities on non school uniform days, but that isnt because im giving to charitie but because I dont want to be laughed at for coming in my school uniform.
And im not voteing because I think the way you have worded the poll is wrong.

I keep spare change that I have and put it in a pot by my front door, and when people from all types of charities come round, I give them all the change that is in the pot.

Also I gav £15 to the Asian tsunami disaster.
