i'm liking the ones suggested this year, apart from the obvious ones there's a good range. water aid and cry get my vote so far, good causes

[CrazyLemurs]

Leukemia and Lymphoma Research UK because it does such good work for cancers that aren't really thought about by most people: those of the blood

Assuming we can't go for MIND again, I think it would be good to look into and support a good UK homelessness charity, most likely Shelter. Homelessness is a gigantic problem affecting thousands upon thousands of people and is constantly on the rise (up an estimated 25% over the last 3 years in England alone), and working towards solutions is of massive importance not only from a compassionate point of view but also an economic one - we as a country would be far better equipped to tackle all sorts of problems both major and minor if the invisible percentage of our population had enough support to help themselves back into working society, which has often abandoned them for reasons beyond their control.

Either:

The Dream Factory who make dreams come true for children who have life threatening diseases or severe disabilities. My mum looks after a young boy who has severe learning disabilities and is also confined to a wheelchair after becoming paralysed from the neck down. His applied and is hoping his dream will come true as have many other children and I think that some money would help towards making these children's dreams come true.

OR:

Kids Inspire: An Essex based charity helping the disadvantaged and troubled young people. It basically allows them to reconnect these kids back with both themselves and society after a load of different issues in their life such as neglect, trauma or abuse. They do lots of work in schools and I remember them on a couple of occasions coming to our school and promoting anti-bullying, whole school peer groups, staff/student training and loads of other things which was amazing to see.

I think that both of these would be a fantastic idea!

Ummm I would suggest The cybersmile foundation


It's a cyber bullying charity which I know many people won't want to vote because its not that good but I think it's really good. I remember hearing something about them helping people stay safe and things online.
Lool it up everyone please vote it as most others already get loads of votes and are well known by now
