cancer research uk!!

why................. because everybody has been effected by cancer,whether it be a friend,family or yourself!!

Whichever charity you choose, make sure you opt for gift aid, then another 28% will ba added to your donation.

I'd go for McMillan Cancer, not only are they helping towards research but they also have places for cancer patients past or present to go and do activities. My nan spent alot of her last months there, and without them I wouldnt have the lovely squirell candle holders she made me, aherm :-) And also my mate was supposed to be doing a fun run for McMillan on Monday and someone told me they saw him yesterday on crutches, so guess he didnt do it.

The RSPCA!

Why..... Because stupid hooligans last week in my town hacked apart a poor defencless horse in a farmers field al for a laugh. These animals need our money and our care.

What a loada stupid t*ats there are now-a-days!

Do you have a local Hospice in your area ? Our local one relies largely on charitable donations . My sister spent her last few weeks in there and she was so at peace in there.We were all able to be in her room when she passed away , and allowed to stay as long as we wished .

Cancer Research UK - as rugeleyboy says, everyone is effected by cancer at some point in their lives

read this http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Q uestion398185.html
theres my suggestion!

[spudqueen]

My favourite charity is the RNLI as they save so many lives (hell I'd be soooooo grateful to see them if I ever needed them) and they don't get any government funding at all.

My choice would be anything to do with kids; NSPCC, Childline, Children in Need.

Or Shelter.

[Jo_the_Lion]

Any animal charity.

People can help themselves. Even good causes like cancer, AIDS etc still have a human element. Whereas animals have nobody.

And with Children in Need and Red Nose Day etc, there are no dedicated animal ones.

If you give it to an animal charity, and I take your honest word, I shall double it.

[mrknowall]

Many thanks Joe,
I have read all the post's and as joe says most get funding from other means.
And as there are no dedicated animal ones i will send �15 pounds to an Animal charity.
Is there any particle one joe ?
I will post the receipt on Ab if i can.
Many thanks to you all
Mrk

I realise you've already made up your mind but we could always do with some shamless publicity and extra cash.

And if you look carefully, there are quite a few pictures of myself, in various states of dishevellement, most recently with a birthday shout out when the guys pulled some cherry bakewells out of a hat to surprise me!
It's a really worthwhile cause for young people who have suffered social exclusion for which I volunteer lots of my time and am an active board member.

[shineybomb]

RSPCA gets my vote in that case

[Skreecheeboy]

Didn't you even try to find my pics???? I look amazing and it's a really good cause! HONEST!!!!!!

[Skreecheeboy]

Oops, I was p1ssed when I wrote that last bit. I don't even look very good at the best of times, let alone when I've not washed in days....

[mrknowall]

Its ok Skreecheeboy i did look at the site but as id already chosen the charity it was to late.
And as Joe_the_Lion was the only one that would match it if it went to a animal charity i picked that one.
Which i will take his word that he will do the same.
The monies has now been sent.
So many thanks to joe and everyone else who posted.
Mrk
