Thank you captain2

[TheWinner]

anybody got any ideas on these?

[TheWinner]

for number 5, I wanted to offer Scope, but I'm not sure it fits the clue and was waiting for someone else to offer a suggestion.

[Buenchico]

"Ability to have" suggests 'can', so I'm looking at possible cancer charities but I can't work out the rest of the clue :(

[TheWinner]

I've been down that route too Buenchico. They are tough clues.

[cashier]

I've also been looking at 'can' words finding a list of British Charities isn't easy. They are hard clues TheWinner, I'm struggling as well.

[TheWinner]

Hi cashier, I have been searching for links that list all the charities, and found this, but it's huge. https://findthatcharity.uk/orgid/type/registered-charity?active=True

[mallyh]

i was thinking cancer uk ...kay been the girl

[TheWinner]

hi mallyh, good idea. what about the onshore bit though? I was thinking on the Vera Lynn line.

[cashier]

What's the onshore bit mally?

[bobbinwales]

For 20 I was looking at Polish. ..
Or if am anagram something with women's in the name

[bobbinwales]

Or spoons could be tea or dessert or table

[TheWinner]

I bet the answers are so much simpler, and we are trying too hard.

[TheWinner]

I've tried all those bobbinwales, but no luck.

[cashier]

For that bobb have been looking at rub, dry, polish it could be anything.

[cashier]

Thanks for the list TheWinner, it is very long 8000+ pages, will pass on it.

20. A longshot! Take the initial letters of the three words - WSN.
There is a Women's Support Network charity based in Northern Ireland.

[TheWinner]

I think that's a good call Hazlinny. Well done!

[cashier]

Well done.
