Any charity at 50p/month with an online DD simple form to setup the payment?

I have in the past set up DDs with the following charities who have a minimum £1 a month

UNICEF
RSPCA
SHELTER
OXFAM
SCOPE

Pretty simple and online.

Note that sometimes the first DD doesn't happen until a fixed date, and might be in the following month. One of them, Shelter I think, allowed you to pick the first payment date, so you knew when.

Post Office savings are useful for DDs too, but take a while to set up, site not easy to use, and you will get to meet the phrase 'technical difficulties' a lot. Also they can be set to DD weekly.

National Lottery with a £1 a week Thunderball is one I've used too.

Thank you for all your kind answers.
But I should have explained better.

I am not interested in a long-term DD, so I don't want electricity or tv or any other contract in.

I am just looking for something particularly easy to set up online (no forms to download and send as in all the saving account suggested here) to be used just for the few months needed for the bonus to come in.

Look, don't leave us guessing. What institution and what product are you talking about?


Too many posters on MSE give minimal information and expect reliable advice. As the old song said "You can't have one without the other"....:)

Yes, an easy setup was the main concern here.
Just for the record and for people in similar position, I suggest:
OnepoundDD
Oxfam

They can both be setup in less than 3 minutes online with no further documentation required (you only need to know the bank sort code and account number where you want the DD to be setup).
You can choose 1£/month DD and money wll go for a good cause.
This is what I was looking for and I found thanks to many MSE posters

It's obviously down to you what you do with your money and whether you want to support charities and smart alecs but it isn't exactly money saving expert-ish to give others your money when there are easy alternatives for keeping your money.
