Unfortunately it's also the only one of the big tv charity events that supports charities for the elderly, the other big ones, children in need, soccer aid           ( unicef) and stand up to cancer are all big earners.  So I give to Age UK as well as various animal charities some of which work in developing countries. I have supported MSF in the past as I have known Doctors who have done work with them.

I avoid comic relief
