    The Thread Is ALSO Listed Into The Charity Thread But Listed Here So People That Have Received "Freebies" Would Know Which Companies To Approach As They Have Knowledge Which Companies Donate The Most "Freebies" On A Regular Basis.
    .

    Then why is there the need to duplicate a posting? There are very few freebies that are offered on this board which would benefit a charity - most are small samples/vouchers or online offers. Also those who do know actively who offers the best freebies for charities are more likely to post there.

    Alternatively if you want to know who does offer "the most/best free items to charities" it would probably be easier to ask a direct question and gain the information that way.

    I am not saying what you are doing is wrong, I fully support charities, and I understand that donations are important when trying to raise much needed funds. It just has more that your approach and your tenacity towards other users is very disconcerting.

    Lets try to keep the peace, and enjoy the community that is MSE! :)

    you all may hate this, so I'll start the 666 club:

    Companies don't really give things for free we all pay for it in higher consumer prices... so if you and 100 others get a pack of chocolate from Mars, the rest of us pay 1p extra per Mars Bar.

    The corporations make their money, the shareholders just want ££ returns.

    In summary your begging is costing me more money!! Hence I'm the sole memebr of the 666 club...

    BTW: I have no issue with charities, fund raising or good causes just wanted to give my opinion on this.

    EDIT: ah didn't see this war above ^^ me ^^ :runs away: ;)

    Just for info, I have received an abusive pm from dobbiesloan, for no other reason than sticking up for someone whom it was felt that he was having a go at, it was a while back, but I think it was in reference to someone asking for ideas of freebies for her children. He replied that there are lots of them if you look for them. The person was relatively new and i thought he was harsh and was shocked that someone had thanked his post.

    This is his response by pm:
