I have no objection to forking out for charity. Like Vorlon I also tend to stick to domestic charities British heart Foundation and Terrance Higgins Trust being 2 of my recent donations. If people want to help charities then the best way is to actually get off their bums and go and do some grafting for them, just as Mez does when she does the shopping for Age Concern. I think a donation of someone's time is far more valuable than cash. Before full time midwifery, I spent 3 days a week helping the elderly mentally ill by providing reminiscence therapy and helping them to eat their dinners (cutting up their food and physically feeding them).

If you donate your time, then you can be sure that it is well spent...
