A few days ago I donated towards a fabbers ‘JustGiving’. A worthy cause.
Imagine you won a competition to donate a million pounds to a chosen charity.
That man had his reasons for choosing his specific charity and I know whom mine would be.
Who would YOURS be?? |

I won't name it, but it's the charity I do voluntary work with. It would make a phenomenal difference to the kind of work the charity could do for the vulnerable people in the community.
If I have to name a charity, I'll probably say the National Autistic Society or the Samaritans. |

"The air ambulance  "
The Dorset and Somerset air ambulance, I work in a high risk profession in very rural locations.
I have friends and family who have had life saving interventions from this service. |

Yes I watch those A&E programmes and the service is something else without it would be unimaginable |

"Wirral Hospice St Johns, they cared for my dad.
Camfed, who provide funding for female education in Africa (particularly in their work bringing young mothers back into education in Malawi)"
I like the idea of Camfed too, so so many charities that deserve support but if I was spending that sort of money I would want it to have the biggest impact. Lord knows places like hospices deserve immense praise, and I volunteer for another type of charity altogether but feel that if we want to make the world a better place we need to put more effort into dealing with causes not just coping with effects. It'd certainly be a question I'd think long and hard about and would absolutely want to know the money was having the biggest possible effect, not paying inflated salaries. |

Split it between several dog rescues I already support, buy them food, blankets etc monthly and drop it off.
One rescues racing greyhounds, another dogs used for fighting, a few general rescues.
Dogs are amazing, the love they give to a complete stranger when I visit is incredible.
If I could I'd have all of them.
