I logged into my Topcashback account and a message popped up saying they'd match donations from your balance to the Ukraine DEC appeal. I thought that was a good idea and donated my balance, by going to the payout option and choosing the charity option (there is a quirk that you still have to give yourself a minimum of 1p…

It is worth checking out the various charities that have shops on eBay. I have bought several things from the BHF shop and not only do I get nice things, but proceeds go to charity https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/britishheartfoundationshop

I feel that the practice on the Just Giving site to pre-populate a donation is misleading and unnecessary. Just Giving already receives a significant contribution from the donations that are made. There is no need for them to request more in this way. And I'm sure many users have inadvertently made the donation. The field…

I came across this part of Amazon, smile.amazon.co.uk It links to your amazon account, costs nothing and 0.5% of the cost of what you have spent can be donated to your charity of choice. I'm not trying to promote Amazon but if you are going to use them might as well some of this going to charity. Please share and spread…

Companies House have advised that from 1 April 2027, all companies will need to file their annual accounts using commercial software. It appears that this includes micro-entities like mine (income <£10,000pa) who currently provide only 2 numbers each year -- gross income and gross expenditure. It looks like we shall need…

Hello. This question is directed primarily at those who work in Charity Shops, But clearly, all views are welcome, especially fellow shoppers.

As the King said in his Xmas Message, it is even more important to give to charities, or take part in charitable activities, during this time of hardship for many families in Britain and abroad. I have given 5% of my earnings to charities (on a rotating basis) since my first salary was paid into my Bank over 50 years ago.…

For several years I have made a lot of effort to buy thoughtful gifts for my brother's children. I no longer get any acknowledgement and have no idea if they are well received. My brother is wealthy and the kids get everything they want from him and his wife and her family. This year I would rather give money to charity on…

This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I bought a coat in a charity shop and, when I got it home, found a lottery ticket in one of the pockets. I checked the numbers and it's for a £5,000 win. But I'm not sure what to do now - should I return to the charity shop and ask if they know who donated the coat, give half…

hi, last month i donated some money towards the Ukraine crisis, but i got thinking about the animals over there which are massively suffering too - especially those that have been abandoned by their owners. are there any specific charities out there focusing on the helping the animals of Ukraine? many thanks.

The charity I’m involved in is setting up a Crisis Fund to provide to support to the people we help (we help people at risk of homelessness into secure housing). It would be better if we could help other than with cash. What voucher schemes are there (other than supermarkets? For example, fuel, energy, bus/train tickets.…

Just to let people know that I purchased postage stamps from charities in order to help them raise funds. I pay £10 per kilo for any and all unsorted stamps collected. I enjoy sorting them while I care for my 2 disabled grandson's who are at home 24/7 now due to Covid and me being extremely vulnerable. I have been doing…

I collect milk bottle tops and used stamps for charity, does anyone know of other household items that charities take?

Hi, I'm looking for any charities that you may know of that provide help with vets bills for people on low money?
