mental health and cancer

to the people in the coffee shops and to the unfortunates on the street. the only charity I'd ever help is medecins sans frontiers. the rest are scams especially the pink and daffodil crowd . one works for the make up industry and the other for big pharma. only 8% of the money left over after the executives have paid themselves goes to finding the CAUSE of cancer. effing stupid really

UNICEF, The Planetary Society and American Atheists

I check 'em out first on Charity Navigator, then give mostly to environmental, or animal related ones, and occasional human disasters, when I'm in the mood.

I try to give directly, I don't trust most organizations because I know 90% doesn't reach its target.
Buying a sandwich for this and that person is how I try and do things. I do like to do the dent can thing and stuff like that for food banks.

I live in sheltered accommodation and do mending ironing and washing for other people and anything else that is wanted they gove me money whatever they think I am worth - and when I get to £100.00 I send it off to a charity of my choice or theirs if they have one - I also buy my books from charity shops and then take them back for resale and give to people with collecting boxes whatever cause. its all I can do but I try to live simply and not waste stuff.

Not frequently. Min wage with a mortgage so I don't have loads to spare. One-off donations when I feel like it or dumping excess stuff to charity shops etc. Would like to set up some regular things but just not at the moment.

Depend on each individual likes or aspirations. Who is actually receiving it Is the end user or hypocrate organisation with deep pockets
I will give a coaching or education training someone so they can go out and repeat the process and look after themselves. Like teach to fish and they fish for life but you give fish they will still want fish tomorrow

Rather miserly with my money
