Christmas Charity Fundraiser 2013: YOUR suggestions

[-:Undertaker:-]

I'd like a British-based charity which focuses on activities for children and especially older people around Christmas - for those who haven't got any family. Whether it's a gift, a day out or having somebody come round.

Remember, the more local the charity the better the money will be spent.

The majority are though.

I'm not arguing from a solely national point of view anyway, i'm making the broader point thats a well established fact - that when money is spent more locally it has much greater benefits because it is used more efficently. That's why aid to the third world is often so pointless as we saw with Haiti.

Didn't realise you were a moderator.

Where's the ideology in that anyway? I just believe charity begins at home and it's simple economics that when money it spent closer to the problem it gives more value for money.

I think it could also be argued (and my personal argument is) the majority of the time, the people in certain other countries are far more desperate than the majority of the people in the UK.

So people in Britain should not get charity because others need it 'more'?
