Now there's a whole bunch of big questions.....
With the recent government cuts I think charities will be relied on more and more. Where in the past they might have supported specialist needs or be ther to add a little comfort or support in life, they will be keeping some people going now.
No I don't think its right, but inevitable. I take my used clothes and bric-a-brac to the Salvation Army because they do good work locally, but I don't have a religious connection to them, so sometimes I pop a few bits into the independent store who raise money for diabled children.
Otherwise I occasionally support Arts charities as I enjoy their work, wildlife charities because I live in the countryside and a hospice because they looked after a loved one.
If I had loads of money I'd set up my own and support young people to get a start in life, whatever that means for them.
