For years, I have kept small change in a piggy bank. There is now over £150. I don't need the money. After all, it's what was left in my touser pocket at the end of the day. Where should I send it? Oxfam? Battered wives? My old College? Suggestions/Justifications please. I will post the results in 24 hrs. |

Any mental health charity, they're way to underfunded and could help bring someone back from the brink.
We've very bitter and sad experiences of what happens when help hasn't been sought or wasn't available. |

Any local charity that has minimal overheads for directors, bonuses etc. I put mine into a charity that is run by volunteers, so no wages, they have no assets and more than 99% of their income provides a service to people.
Choose the cause that fits your heart. Think of hospices, services for the severely disabled, the abused - people or animals, those whose life is drastically cut in scope for whatever reason |

That's actually a great answer. I do look for the "how much of the money I donate actually reaches the people who need it' as it's quite shocking with some of the larger organisations how much goes to other sources although they have their reasons too |
