CSF23 Charity suggestions for CSF23

[Sunglasses_Ron]

We are looking for suggestions for the chosen charity for CSF23

We chose Dementia UK last time because it was a charity close to my heart due to losing my mum to the illness three years ago.

Once we have a list I’ll create a poll so you can vote for the one you’d like to choose.

Also if you know of any businesses that might be willing to donate raffle prizes we’d really appreciate if you could make contact with them on our behalf.

Thanks.

Dementia UK for me.

Uk Pothole fund?

Joking aside - It would be some form of Cancer Charity that would get my vote

They are a medium sized charity who offer financial (and other support) aid to low income families. I like them because they are committed to helping families with kids who have a very big range of disabilities or illnesses.

There are a number of very small charities in local areas who may well benefit much more from a donation than the larger charity above. I am trying to remember the name of one I saw a while back but they were a properly small team who spent their time running a free child care program for terminally ill or severely disabled children so their parents could have a night away. They started it after their child sadly died and just wanted to help other parents. If I can find them again I'll post up the details.

Get @Tubbs Vice Megane Sorted fund?

I’m always a big advocate for the RNLI but a racing blue/liquid yellow cause could also be appropriate.

Get @Tubbs Vice Megane Sorted fund?

I don't want to donate money to a lost cause mate.

MNDA (Motor Neurone Disease Association).

Trussell Trust gets my vote - https://www.trusselltrust.org/

Sadly many families are dependant on them now, this shouldn't happen in the UK at all.

 

[Krarl]

Dementia UK for me.

This gets my vote too

Don't fund my Megane, even I don't want to do that

Can I recommend a smaller charity. The big boys get so much support it’s nice to look at the smaller guys. I’ve no preference mind. I’ll pay more than my fair share into the raffle and watch @dann2707 take all the good stuff

Homeless Aid UK, it's a small set up in the north west who are also trying to expand into London / Leeds.

They provide clothing and help to homeless including doing street food kitchens, working with local restaurants they also provide various free meals at the restaurants to feed the homeless.

On addition to this once they have assisted and found somewhere to live they keep in touch and assist with setting up in a new home.

It's run entirely by volunteers and on donations from the community

Follicular Lymphoma Foundation - it’s a lesser known cancer charity, but one that definitely needs support.

I don't know if this makes it massively difficult, but couldn't we do tokens like they do at ASDA for charity works?

Everyone gets a token, and can chose a box to put it in, the total money raised is then split according to how many tokens each charity received?

It’s a nice idea but ideally we like to invite our chosen charity along to have a presence at the event and get them to to do a little talk before the raffle.

Most chance of that happening if @Ph1 Tom's charity is chosen I recon!

Maybe. But we will go with the charity with the most votes 😉

Any cancer charity gets my vote.

Home - Severn Hospice

Severn Hospice gives specialist care and support free of charge to families across Shropshire and North Powys who are living with an incurable illness.

Severn Hospice looked after my Mum before she passed last year and were excellent, obviously not a national charity so limited scope there, but would be a good choice IMO.

Not sure if it's too late, but this is something my mum mentioned and is trying to help.

Alexandra's House of Joy is a project to build a Centre for Adults in Bicester, Oxfordshire with severe and profound learning disabilities, to offer Respite and Hospice services.
