remember to give it to a reg charity - v impt
and then give with gift aid - thecharity gets 20% more in a claim back in tax.
try NOT to give for what the govt should be doing anyway
the finance dept/ treasurer/ awful bean counter will just cut their budget and say "oh goodie, saved on that".
the gubmint have jsut given charities £750m which to me is a shocking admission that the govt recognises that the charities administer at a lower cost some things than the govt does!
charitable aims - food for down and outs
supporting those locked in
spring to mind
