We are looking for recommendations for which charities and local good causes we should list on our new charity cashback site.

guide dogs for the blind

Childline, doesn't get enough money to man phonelines for all the calls and these children need support, need help to encourage them to go to police when being ill treated etc.

RSPB, lifelng member, important to protect our birds, especially with Prezza planning more destruction of green belt!

 

[MarkPearson]

thanks, so far, we do already have childline and RSPB listed.

We will contact guide dogs for the blind and get them listed ASAP.

Anyother suggestions?

I have asthma and was part of the Junior Asthma Club when I was younger, they help children cope and deal with their asthma and also arrange special holidays for asthma sufferers

RNID, Hearing Concern. However I would prefer to support a smaller charity that is in more need of the cash.

Might be a good idea to get the charities on board

Childline, doesn't get enough money to man phonelines for all the calls and these children need support, need help to encourage them to go to police when being ill treated etc.

I supprt the NSPCC very heavily, I can tell you that Childline is now part of the NSPCC and will receive much more funding.

I'd like to see youth hostel charities as well, as someone who used to live in one I know how under supported they are.

Blood Donors! I don't think it's a charity, but always try and get people to give blood as often as I can!

Can't see anything here about the NSPCC controlling Childline, was always independent to my knowledge, mentions getting 4,500 calls a day and only answering 2,500 cus of lack of funds.

As I had a few years in a children's home, I would like to support children in need, however I view it all as simply big TV business. That I do not subscribe to.

I don't think anyone should give money to TV operated charities, more give your time to helping people or situations in your own community, this would stop people making money off the back off worthwhile causes.

 

[DuaneJackson]

Interesting that this is a business forum and no one has mentioned the Prince's Trust?

Another excellent charity is the London Youth Support Trust.

 

[PeteA]

Duane it is probably because there are so many mate.

 

[The Bookkeeper]

Breakthrough Breast Cancer is a charity very close to my heart.

 

[NicolaCassidy]

Thanks to everyone so far on their favourite charities, here's a little update:

Most of the ones mentioned are already on the site, but the rest, I am working through and contacting the charities to try and get them listed.

Anymore suggestions are more than welcome

Hi Nicola

The local charity close to my heart is the Sara Lee Trust, who provide complementary therapies to palliative care patients. They do a fantastic job in making what is a very difficult time sometimes more bearable.
