St Johns Ambulance door to door collector lied to me?
So about 2-2.5 hours ago some guy showed up at the door and tried to extract my bank account details from me several times without even asking if I want to donate. His technique was to get me to admit that first aid is a good thing, and then he just started asking for name, phone number, bank account number, etc. I asked…
Text to donate
Hello, can anyone recommend a company to set up text to donate with? I'm a fundraiser for Reading Mencap and have started searching but not really come up trumps with anything. Many thanks
What to do with Encyclopaedia Britannica
I wonder if anyone can help. I have a full set of Encyclopaedia Britannica (circa 1986) in perfect condition including Children's Version which have adorned our bookcase since new. Some volumes have probably never been opened. They cost £1000 which was about 30% of my net annual salary at the time ! I can understand why…
Bank account for early day charitable initiative?
Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas/suggestions on the best type of account to get for a small 'charity' or are they much of a muchness? Brief background.

Please Help 10 yr old Cancer Survivor Zack Climbs Volcano For Charity

For 3.5 years we dealt with every day as it happened. Far too frightened to look toward the future. Now my beautiful boy is a happy healthy 10 year old boy. Just completing…

Read about a couple who have been helped by the charity, and get more…
Charity Collectors
I dislike charity collectors knocking at my door or shoving themselves upon me in supermarkets. I don't mind poppy sellers at all I always buy one but other charities are getting worse in the tactics. I visit a relative in residential care and at least twice a week charity collectors go in there asking residents and staff…
How do you choose?
Which charities to support? I want to make a regular donation to a charity, and have shortlisted it to two, both do good work, both seems to spend their money well, over 90% on charitable work. One is large and receives a lot of funding from the government etc, the other is smaller and relies almost entirely on private…
Does anyone know of....
Hi, Does anyone know of a UK company that does cardboard packaging?, basically what it is, is I'm looking for someone to do a 4" x 3 " (approximately) piece of cardboard with the charity logo on it and the charity item / product will be in a bag stapled to the card. The founders said they'd want about 10,000 of these cards…
