Charity ads on the telly.

No. I plan my finances, including donations. I also manage 2 charities where there is almost 0 admin charges levied, so all money helps appropriately, unlike many large charities which advertise.

Comic Relief. Usually to a DEC appeal. Other than that, nope - schedule regular charity giving into the monthly budget instead.

Wow, I sound exciting. Um. I make my donations from a hang-glider. A rocket-powered hang-glider. With lasers...

I don't buy anything just because it's been advertised on the tv, so I'm unlikely to donate to anything that someone else is trying to persuade me is a better cause than I already give to. Much as I would like to donate x amount to help this, or y amount to save that, I only have so much available for good causes, and have had a DD set up for the charity of my choice for the last 20 odd yrs. I tell this to street collectors as well.

No, doesn't usually draw me in. I'm terrible, i I'm approached in the street I often ask questions they aren't sure how to answer:

'Do you personally donate to the charity?'

'How much of every pound I donate goes to direct work of the charity?'

'Why should I pick this charity over another?'

They often just wish they hadn't stopped me in the street, whereas I think they should know those answers really, I love charity but have to choose on a fair basis, in my opinion. TV ads put me off a little usually.

On occasion, yes - mainly to disaster relief appeals rather than regular ads.

I have regular ones set up for the ones of my choice x

I used to work in a call centre who answered the phones for a number of these campaigns and the answer is yes. Lots of people respond to these campaigns. Made scheduling a nightmare as we would be quiet for ages then alk of a sudden be mega busy!!

I don't donate to the majority if charities on TV as they are generally in foreign countries that already receive aid from the UK, I do however donate to charities within our own country like help for heroes and cancer charities.

I agree whole heartedly with your stance.

The pc brigade will be onto you accusing you of racism though

Definitely no racism involved at all, I understand that there is suffering all over the world but there are also a lot of worthy causes within out own Country and I believe charity starts at home.

Some of these animals are really good actors especially Baxter. They should have awards, they could call them 'The Baxters'
