How much would you give to charity....

... if you had £70K per year spare?

The things I heard were absolutely insane. It was all about who gave time versus who gave money, and differences of opinion about who should have access to the produce grown.

I heard that one woman camped in a tent in some bushes for a couple of weeks to catch people 'stealing' the goods. Knowing the woman in question, I believe every word of it.

I have quite mixed feelings about this, to be honest. It's something I've thought about.

In principle, yes definitely a great idea. But I'm not convinced it'd play out quite this way.
Me and DP work in the university sector and for most students its absolutely nowhere near a ticket to social mobility.

I'd buy them things they need and have them delivered, I think money or a lot of it ends up nowhere near where you intended and into pockets.

I might donate something like a week in a UK cottage to a family with a parent with cancer undergoing chemo etc via SomethingToLookForwardTo as I know that would make a difference to that family. I might give to my old university as they have been very good to me and I went there from a relatively deprived background and it did help that there was some financial support / cheaper prices though I might donate to say their counselling service if that's possible. I would be cautious overall as you never know what will hit in later life like cancer or inflation and can always leave money in your will. Would also do a development charity abroad but not sure which one, maybe WaterAid.

If you were thinking of cat charities you will find the local cat charities are all run by volunteers,so every penny goes to the cats.
If you look on Facebook in your local area you will see the rescues or you could even go out of area.
They do requests on Facebook when they pick up a cat.
Every penny counts xx
