    In the past few weeks I have given money for the following - a firewalk, a cycle ride, race night, ben Nevis climb, sponsored walk, nursery chatterbox thing, marie curie danceathon, 'fill a smartie tube with 20p's', 3x race for life runners.

    So I'm afraid if anyone else asks for sponsorship money, unless it's a close family member - I'm flippin skint!

    If people do or dont want to sponser you or give to charity, that is their own decision. It's not for you to assume that they will nor should you judge them.

    Just because they have a decent amount of money doesnt mean they have to give to charity.

    I agree - You can't judge like this... lots of people donate through payroll or support a specific charity due to historical circumstances.

    I work in a large firm where people are always climbing Everest or some other pointless task and asking for money.. Drives me mad!:mad:

    I choose who I give my charitable donations to, it's MY money!
