Name Your Favourite Charity/Charities.
23 Answers
I never cease to be amazed by the number of charities in this country.
By one of those ironies which add a certain piquancy to our mundane existence, today I have received a flyer for the (previously unheard-of) Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (supporting people suffering from brain injury). This is ironic coming just after my recent TIA resulting in a permanent driving ban. I do realise that this setback pales into insignificance compared to folk at the hospital of course.
This is a very worthy charity I feel, rather than some of the more suspect ones (e.g. Eton College).
What charity do Abers think need more exposure (and which ones less possibly) ?
P.S. To Ed. As I'm throwing this thread open to other charities, I hope this won't be discarded as Spam.

An interesting post, Canary. I think supporting certain charities is very much a personal choice often based on personal or family involvement/contact. When you see celebrities engaging on popular tv programmes to win money for charities I often hear them mention lesser known causes or specific local branches of better known ones.
Sometimes, out of interest and/or curiosity, I have googled some of those charities.
I would never presume to suggest that certain ones need less exposure for they are all important to some people and, perhaps more importantly, the advertising of charities can make people aware of issues without having to support them.

to the ed - you can never tell with some mods
Roy Hosp Neuro - west hill, putters
seems to exist, be a hospital, on the nHS and needs charity to run things that are not budgeted for
Make sure it is registered, read the latest returns, make sure the overheads are less than 10%, always use Gift Aid
I think it has to be year to year
I stopped giving to my old college, when they had a sex scandal and seemed to be spending an awful lot on investigation - like years !
Not with my moolah! - no it was nt ChristChurch but like it. nor Hereford but like THAT
I gave to a regimental charity as they seemed to have coped with PTDS and drugs within the ranks. - he alternative is to chuck them all out
Home ventilation s you ( NHS) can save an absolute bomb on ventilation of stable patients at home - instead of in hospital
