I would look in to setting up one for children who's parent or parents have died. There is probably already charities like it, just not heard of them.
And something like the Lavender Trust which is aimed at younger women who get breast cancer.
I lost my best friend a few years ago to cancer and her son was only 7 at the time, I know Macmillan did a lot of good with her family though. |

A friend set up a home for street kids in Kenya, they get their education(including uniforms ect) paid for as well as a family life and the chance to be children.
They have just seen there first 2 kids go to uni, and have various others on apprenticeships .They also support families in the community so there children can attend school, particually ones who have lost parents to hiv/aids.
All the employees are kenyan, all money spent goes into the kenyan economy, it is the kind of charity that really works,changing lives and letting people improve their own lot rather than providing paternalistic top down solutions.
i would like to open similar homes in various cities around the world where there are homeless children.

I would set up one for men who suffer from age related E.D.
If it is age related, then there is no help out there and treatment has to be paid for on private prescription. |

i would set up one for children with severe mental health problems (not learning disabilities) the reason being many peoples lives might have taken a different path if they had been diagnosed early enough |

Unfortunately this is true - but if the man talks to the doc and asks for TT level check (free active Testosterone) and the figure comes back at less than 11 ppnmog then he is entitled to a referral to an endocronologist. Having said that most GPs will inititally play ignorant but it is your right to be referred on. There are sites under the name of andropause... Good luck |

A good GP will have the full range of blood tests run.
If all results come come back ok, then a private prescription will cost you £30 upwards depending on what is prescribed, the other alternative is to buy off the net, and you can not always tell you are getting genuine meds/ |

not so much a charity but if hyper rich would set up credit unions in area's where some folk cant get credit..
which usually means they are forced to go to sharks..
these would be non profit and run by folk from within the community they look after.. |

Good point. I sometimes do wonder why everything these days has to be profit driven. |

I'd open up a supported housing scheme for ex forces with mental health issues and who are injured.. I'd also like to open up a community coffee shop where I employ ex offenders, adults with learning disabilties and mental health to have work placements. |

I also agree with this one - especially the soldiers. It sometimes seems that once they are back here they are a bit forgotten. PTSD does not come from nowhere and it certainly does not go away overnight!

I don't give to charity, most are run as a business, very little goes to those that are in need.
When certain celebrities give their time for free, rather than charge "expenses" I may, just may reconsider.
I've no issues with those that do give.
