    Re: Do you give money to charity?

    This isn't a particularly good list of options. I selected "No – I can’t afford to just now" but that's not true at all - I just prefer to donate my time instead of my money. I volunteer for the local hospital radio every week, and use my skills in web design to help other charitable organisations from home.

    The idea of giving money is just so ugly and dissatisfactory.

    Hi Badgerlady,

    As a finance site, we were particularly interested in whether people make cash donations. It was in no way intended to devalue the incredible effort volunteers make!

    In fact, I have a friend who dedicates a couple of nights a week to hopsital radio too - and I don't doubt she works extroadinarily hard at it :)

    Thanks for your feedback,

    Felicity

    Understood - I'd be happy to just answer "no", rather than "no I can't afford to" :-)

    No – I mean to but forget

    Tha above was my closest personal choice, but I had to re-arrange the words below into a more apt, suitable alternative.

    No - But I mean to forget.

    Humbug to Xmas & charity. : -- (

    Yes, I use a charity credit card and I also buy charity christmas cards, give a donation for small gifts (eg via christian aid or unicef) and buy presents from charity catalogues...

    I also do most of my clothes shopping in charity shops (but not for my son!)
