To ask what charities you regularly donate to, and why?

[GinnyJumperoo]

What it says on the tin really.

My husband and I are finally earning enough to enable us to donate to a couple of charities each month. We have been discussing causes which are important to us and although we haven't fully decided yet, we think we want to focus on charities which help sick children. GOSH being one of them. Maybe Ronald McDonald or the children's hospices such as Rachel House (we had close friends who used it and can't speak highly enough of it). Perhaps something like the children's hospital at the new big hospital in Glasgow.

I guess the reason is that we have two young children ourselves and we are lucky enough that they are healthy. Some of our friends haven't been so fortunate.

Monthly donations to Shelter and to Repeal Eight an Irish organisation campaigning to give Irish women access to abortion in their own country.

I donate to some animal charites. The SSPCA and sponsor some individual animals with the WWF. I love animals so self explanatory really. Local pet hospital has a donation left in my will as they have been absolutely wonderful dealing with my various pets over the years.

I donate to the children's hospital in Glasgow. I also donate to Les Hoeys Dream Maker Foundation in Scotland. They're like Make a Wish but more independent. My little sister was diagnosed with cancer when she was 7 and the hospital have been fantastic for her. She's had a few dreams come true with the foundation too.

MSF - because they go into seriously horrific places and provide medical care where no one else will

Mercy ship - similar, don't go into war zones like MSF but they do amazing operations and other healthcare in places where people would't normally be able to receive that operation.

Fistula foundation - relatively simple to fix, devastates lives as these woman are basically cast out

Local food bank - no one in london should be hungry

Abortion Support Network - because Ireland is a fucking disgraceful piece of shit backward country that hates women, and everyone woman deserves the right to choose.

I donate monthly to Fertility Network UK.

Infertility is a cause very very close to my heart.

Air ambulance - monthly lottery but I see it as a donation. Never won anything yet. Don't mind as it's a good cause.

I raise money for School In A Bag, a small charity which sends bags of stationery to children in poor circumstances all over the world, giving them a chance of an education. Bags you fund are given a number and can be tracked even to the point of seeing a photo of the recipient with the bag you funded.

A monthly direct debit to Woolly Hugs for materials. They do fantastic work and as I have the creative ability of a whelk I thought this was a way I could contribute.

Two monthly sponsorships of Spanish hunting dog rescues. My three boys are rescued galgos so I am giving back.

The world food programme, a local children's hospice and the stroke association.

WFP because the plight of people in Syria, Yemen etc play heavily on my mind.

Children's hospice because they are amazing and I lost a cousin to leukeamia age 5, so I know the pain families with terminally ill children go through.

The stroke association because a brilliant friend of mine suffered a brain stem stroke and was left in a locked in state which is one of the most heartbreaking things I've seen a person endure.
