Deciding Christmas Charity

[Mrs.McCall]

I was told to make a separate thread.

Anyway, everyone is able to nominate a Christmas Charity here.

Last year it was divided between a bunch of Charities as there didn't seem to be one clear winner. I propose that if this is similar that we try and choose just one. This way a charity gets a true sizable donation.

The way we could do that is the top 3 nominated (and supported) will be taken to a poll and whoever originally nominated them can explain why they did. Then the forum decides and the winner is the charity that gets the money.

I think it is great being able to support many charities but with the recession and financial difficulties, charities are relying greatly on larger donations.

Just an idea!

[Dean]

I think that a poll is a good idea.

[Mr-Trainor]

I agree with having a poll.

[Suspective]

Yeah it will make it a bit easier to organize to surely.

[Special]

i think a better idea would be to see which 5 are the most nominated in the thread, then they go into a poll and the top 2 or 3 or whatever are the official charitys for this year

(the numbers were just an example)

[Mrs.McCall]

Yeah I think 2 charities at most so we can really make a difference.

[Con]

Yeah I agree, choosing 2 charities will be the best way to make a large difference to both charities. I'm sure with a few polls everyone could agree on 2 charities to use.

[flatface]

I think we should have 2 charities too

[Inseriousity.]

lol I disagree tbh cos I tend to prefer the tescos slogan 'every little helps' and quite liked the 5 charities system last year. But it wouldn't be the end of the world to narrow it back down so whatever happens I'll support. At the end of the day, supporting charity's a good thing whether it's 1 or 100.

[Mrs.McCall]

Yeah that's true but it's all about impact especially in this economy.
