Setting questions for a general knowledge charity quiz
Hi Folks I have been asked to set up questions for a local charity quiz. The categories range from Film & TV, History, News & Current Affairs, Science & Nature, and Sport. I don't want the questions to be too hard, and on the other hand make them too easy. I was wondering if it would be best just to copy some questions…

Hi - Does anyone else have problems getting John Lewis to stump up for their donations via www. easyfundraising.org.uk? We've signed up our small local charity to this website and other retailers such as M&S, Boots, Ocado, etc, etc are really great - often paying on the same day you place the order. In my experience, John…

Free/Discounted Mobile Phones?

HSBC set up NPower DD on charity account
So, the latest in a long, long line of administration problems and let-downs with regards to our charity account is that HSBC have now tried to sneak through a direct debit, made payable to NPower.

Charity Collectors

I don't mind poppy sellers at all I always buy one but other charities are getting worse in the tactics.

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…
