Guest Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Worked for a charity for two years. Had some great days out, including Live Aid (on the phones at the BBC) and Sports Aid (Koo Stark was running in a T Shirt I had made up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted December 16, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2018 I am the treasurer of the local scout group. It takes a lot more time than I ever thought it would. The missus is also a leader and that takes up even more of her time. But it is worth it. We give young and older kids an opportunity to develop and grow their personalities regardless of their background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food & Clothes box donations to the homeless. Great North Swim - Windermere. Part involvement in a few of the old Wways Sportsman’s Dinners (or sportman’s for those who may remember my typo!!!). Many hours donated to a Duchenne Now Boxing evening in the shape of programme production. oh, and fulfilled umpteen Go Fund Me & Just Giving requests for others. Definitely overdue participating in something worthwhile again soon. Ongoing stuff I do is all by monthly direct debit to children's / cancer / autism charities, for as much as one off events help them out, regular monthly income is what they're crying out for. This helps them budget on their own monthly outgoings etc. Since leaving Uni, I haven't really done any one big thing for a chosen cause, but I did waive one of my tenants' first two months rent last year. He was involved in an accident and had to spend 6 weeks in hospital and as I knew that (a) he'd not have as much money coming in as normal and (b) that staying in hospital is an increased financial burden for him & his family, I decided to waive 2 months for him. It just seemed the right thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say that’s mainly the rich & famous. I think that where you are wrong. Most people don't talk about the charity they do, except when are actually doing teh fundraising.

Duck Egg Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Every year at my old place of work when all the daft buggers were handing each other Christmas cards, I always opted out and said I'd be making a donation to charity. I never did though. Saved a small fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
