Name Your Favourite Charity/Charities.

[Canary42]

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.

No really what I'd call favourites but associated with:

Barnado's having worked there as a volunteer at different times in my life.

Mercury Phoenix Trust, set up after the passing Of Freddie Mercury to help, support and combat AIDs/HIV:

I've got monthly direct debits to the RSPCA, Battersea Cats and Dogs Home and Dogs Trust dog sponsor......I'm not even a dog person!

I also donate each year to Comic Relief, CIN and Crisis around Christmas time and I raised a few bob for cancer research doing a half marathon night walk across London several years ago and a 7km walk around Crystal Palace. I think it was 7km anyway.
