Comic Relief - do you give?

My 3 children sleep in comfort - but if they lived in certain parts of the world they would potentially die from malaria - all for the sake of 3 five quid mosquito nets. For me personally that made giving a very easy decision.Onward and upward - with the odd step to the side

I give them a few pounds, I am also not a fan of the guilt trip films, I think sometimes they are a bit too much!
I am very sceptical of most charities, where the money actually goes, and who really benefits, but what I liked about comic relief this year was that they had a real goal and could actually tell you what various amounts would be spent on, which I think helps enormously, I am still not convinced that every penny goes to people in need but I just hope most of it does.
I do think that in a way it does us good to 'do something funny for money' most employers are sympathetic and allow us to have a little fun in return for a donation which whether you believe in the cause or not, its good to have a little fun sometimes especially in work time
