"You won a million but you are not allowed to keep it or give it to family or friends. Who would you give it to, partly or solely. "
Split between ssafa, diabetes UK and the crmo foundation. All charities close to my heart |

I’d buy stuff to donate to children’s wards and hospices. I’ve seen first hand how badly charities use money so I’d rather know exactly where the money has went. |

For me, there are too many worthy causes to list. But I'd give it to those that have been forced out of their homes by war.
Those stuck in camps in abject poverty.
Really....I'd want to help everyone. |

"Homeless charity for ex soldiers
Ssafa do a lot of great stuff for ex squaddies
Interesting, not heard of them so I’ll look into them for my charity of the year next year. Ta."
I always collect for them. Do a lot of cosplay in liverpool collecting. It's not much but every little helps  |

I’d split it between charities with income under 150K. Having recently moved from a charity with income of over £15m to one with income of just over 100K im rapidly seeing just how amazing small charities are (I work in the charity sector). And how under appreciated they are! |

Ok so let’s run the gray here
First I would set up a start up company
Second I would apply for a crowed found account
3rd I would crowed fund for 1 million
4th I would give the money to my own crowed fund start up company
5th I would then shut sed company and keep the money 
Technically I didn’t brake the rules as I gave it away to a start up company
But just so happens i own the start up company and the company folded |

"Small, local charities. A £10,000 or £20,000 grant can make a massive difference, especially if they have a particular project they want to complete. "
THIS!! |

Great responses guys, thank you. Well, a couple of cheeky ones too but fun to read. In the current climate its nice to see we all have so many causes we deeply care about. I do try to give to charity whenever I can and have a couple of SOs to those I am particularly keen to support, usually changing it every year or two but mainly animal, children, homeless and more recently altzeimers. It's a dreadful condition, affecting more and more people all the time. As someone else said, if I was giving a million away, I would also personally support some specific local projects and possibly be personally involved. Finally, I would help at the moment those that seriously struggle to put food on the table for themselves and their families - a great shame that some, including kids go hungry.  |

Max is an ex squaddie so ssafa is one close to his heart. He always helps the ex service personnel on the streets of Liverpool even if it's a bite to eat and a drink.
For me it's cancer research as is so close to my heart
Chesty and max |

"Various veterans charities, hopefully find one that gets vets off the streets and into work placements."
It's hard to see them being a vet myself and knowing I can't do more than I do |

If I had the money I would set up a charity, getting them off the street and into building trades, renovating homes and selling them.
Unfortunately the services really don't care when you are out the door, and they often aren't great at preparing guys for it. Although they are getting better. |
