For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.TWR....I have worked with third world charities for years. How often have I heard.....Here is a small donation....I'm sorry it's not more....It's the best I can do.
No-one should ever apologise for what they consider a "small" donation. I have seen what a difference these donations make....Save the Children can save the life of a child with £1....how good is that?....
Thank you for what you have given...I promise you...it is appreciated and it will help....x

And on that I can agree with you in some instances....I donate by direct debit to Crisis. This week I had a phone call asking for more....and trying to put pressure on me.
Now that will only make me reconsider where my donations go....but for one offs like this there will always be an option without pressure.

I do agree, TWR. I have made a donation, but i had a client who used to make regular donations to different charities. Every time he did, he got a letter shortly after asking for, say £75, if he had donated £50.
Not as bad as Macmillan Cancer Charity, who told two separate ladies, independently, not to do any more Coffee mornings for them, because they weren't raising enough money!
