    Shouldnt you buy some and thus donate to the charities involved?

    All the genuine charity ones are only about £1. I think its Dorothy Perkins that does the pink Breast Cancer one and all of the money goes to breast cancer ('awareness' I think).

    It's all the rip off ones sold by unscrupulous traders that are more and NONE of that money goes to charity.

    do a google search

    you can get a free beat the bully band but it involves sighing up to around 20 odd newsletters joining things and lots of spam etc which is just not worth the hassle

    if you would like a free green band go to https://www.freesterling.com they will send you one free and its a good cause plus your get stickers and maybe a free ps2 demo

    world vision also provide 5 free white ribbon/plastic type wristbands for the aid of world poverty rember to make a donation tho for a good cause

    hope this helps
