...to being able to donate as little or as much as you wish to.
Tonight and recent RD programmes seem to be constantly asking you to text a number to donate £5 or £10. The promoting of the usual number where you can give £2 for example is barely mentioned.
While l'm on a rant, Comic Relief has been going now for 25 years, if only the same amount of pressure had been put on those countries governments surely they wouldn't be asking for money for the same things year after year.
