what would you do if you were passed a million pounds
 

but there is a catch -

you are allowed to keep half of it, the other half you must use to do good.
you dont get to keep your half until you have used the half that is not yours
you are not allowed to give it to anybody you know ( not even friends of freinds etc)
you are not allowed to give it to any charities, or set up a new charity
you cannot use it to buy "material" things such as cars, electronics etc
you can use it to buy materials for things such as building materials, equipment and promotion.
after you have used the half that isnt yours
what would you do with the remaining money ?

Well seeing you can buy building materials I would sort out the building of a stadium for FC United so they no longer have to pay rent to Bury for use of Gigg Lane.That would make a big hole in the first half a million.:D

Re: what would you do if you were passed a million pounds
 

that would be a wonderful ground with no speakers, floodlights or compuertised tickets sales lol
but at least you thought about it :/

Re: what would you do if you were passed a million pounds
 

Well FC Uniteds fund could sort the rest out as they are in the process of raising money for a new stadium and have been for a couple of years now,so my reconing is that it could well be job sorted :)

Re: what would you do if you were passed a million pounds

Re: what would you do if you were passed a million pounds

Re: what would you do if you were passed a million pounds
 

mm i dont know because i put it in the questions and answer bit

Re: what would you do if you were passed a million pounds
 

that is a really tough question, not sure what I would do cant I just keep it all ?

Re: what would you do if you were passed a million pounds
 

Give the half a million to the nursing home that my mum is now as they are really worth there weight in gold.

With the other half I'd pay of my overdraft and do my house up. Might move house and then set a trust fund up with the rest for my kids.

Re: what would you do if you were passed a million pounds
 

I would look at providing community facilities.......lunch clubs for elderly , disabled and disadvantaged....these would be provided in already existing facilities(so no need to buy cokkers and kitchen equipment).......I would provide transport to and from the lunch clubs( using taxi firms and mini buses)........I would look at providing and distributing warm winter bedding and clothing to the elderly and disadvantaged.
I would like to look at providing activity clubs for children.....healthy activities(sport,dancing etc)
I would like to look at providing days out and short holiday breaks for the elderly, disabled and families on low incomes......nothing like a trip to Disney....but trips to the
seaside in this country.
I would look at improving the home environments of the elderly and disadvantaged......enlisting local businesses in decorating and repairing homes......making them more comfortable to live in(this would also put money into the local economy)

I'm pretty sure that all of these things would lighten the lives of folks who could do with some help in their lives.....I'm also fairly sure that half a milllion would'nt be enough to do all of these things.......and would be prepared to donate the more of the money to these worthy causes.
