Christmas Charity Fundraiser 2014: YOUR suggestions!

[Chippiewill]

Let's donate to a local charity that we know the £1000 won't go to staff wages for once, or advertisement to get people like us to donate to. I work closely with http://www.lacesport.org.uk/Index/index.php so im saying them

+1 to both motions.

Russ Foundation

Can get the money spent on a variety of projects including HIV/AIDS, education or a children's home. You name it, I'll sort it.

No money will be funneled off etcetera - the money donated will help people directly.

Child's Play Charity.

Essentially a charity that raises money to buy toys/games/activities for children to do in hospital to make their stays in hospital more comfortable and more relaxing.

You can donate to the charity as a whole, or you can donate to a specific hospital via an Amazon Wishlist, for example, here's a link to the items currently wanted by Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.

I personally feel like this is a good idea as we can actually see what our money has bought rather than donating to a large charity and not seeing any visual difference.

Omg Aiden I am so with you on that one!! Whenever I do charity events for kids I take the money myself and go down to toy shops and gets toys for kids rather then doing it through a charity. That way I know exactly where it's going

It's mainly a US based charity though, it does like 3 hospitals within the whole of the UK (all of which are in England).

Afaik HxF is still mainly UK based audience.

In our school council meeting choosing charities is really pressured, it's either a cancer-related or war-related one. I would like to donate to a small, local charity that will appreciate the donation the most. I don't personally follow any LOCAL charities but I would vote for one that anyone else can suggest near them?

Somewhat subjective.

Local to some is China, others is Scotland etc
