If No? Why?
(Is 25p a Week donated to Oxfam, too much?)

I donate £20 per month to charity, I think. £10 to Oxfam, £5 to the NSPCC, and £5 to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. These figures would probably be higher if I were earning more.

YES! When I clean house, I find things I no longer want or need and donate to the Rescue Mission. Sometimes we donate food when there is a food drive going on at school or through the Post Office. We also donate at work. Also give to other miscellaneous things such as benefits for people in the community who need help with medical bills and such.

I occasionally donate small amounts to charities that strike a cord, or if someone is actually doing something useful or interesting, like offering a service or being sponsored.
However, I make a specific point of NEVER giving to any charity that writes to me, telephones me, bothers me in the street, or rattles a collection pot in my face. I disagree with agressive collections, and whilst my few pence probably makes no difference, I refuse to encourage this type of collection tactic.
Did you know that charities sometimes pay the teams of people that go out on busy streets to get people to set up a direct debit donation?
My favourite type of collections are ones like my local fire station does - they do a charity car wash in full uniform... it's a shame more of them aren't young and scrummy!

I donate once a month to Acorns which is a charity to run Hospice for children and the reason i do is because they do such fantastic work by looking after the children giving them fun, comfort, security, love in their final days also lots of support for their families too.
I also buy a Big Issue when in town to support homeless as was once put in that position and it was crap and made to feel it was your fault many cases it is not you also get good vouchers in there.

I am a regular donor to various charities....I think my current favourite is the Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus....based in the UK. I was born with both of these conditions....and I like to give them a little something whenever I can. The Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity is also close to my heart....I was an in-patient at Great Ormond Street on 2 occasions.

Yes, we donate to Oxfam, RSPB and RSPCA. About £40-£50 a month in total. Every tiny amount helps.....

Yes I do, last year I donated a car to the fire training center in our area so that the vehilces could help trane people to use the jaws of life (I also help them find other people to donate to them) and I also donate money to non profit no kill animal shelters in my area including money, towels, bleach, food, toys and other supplies. Do you donate to charity?

Yep. Not as much now as I used to before I retired.
Now, I give a bit of money when I can, and I donate my time to help people.
