DEC 0800 60 60 900 .. covers a dozen UK charities (yes some are christian but it shouldn't matter .. its where the money goes that's important)

i really think they're the best bet for UK donations lisa

make sure you give it 'officially' though and not in a bucket in a shop. what i mean is that if you give it 'officially' then the charity can claim 'Gift Aid' which is 33% of the donation on top of the donation- a tax rebate sort of thing cos you've already paid tax on it
