i always give a generous amount when i can to any Help For Heroes collections. those people have done and sacrificed so much. one of my mates had his wife die due to MS and he's always doing charity walks, runs and all sorts to raise money for the MS Trust/Society. he always comes to us first in the pub and we all put a good amount down. he's a fucking top bloke.
the only other charity i give to, which is sort of inadvertently, is an air ambulance charity pot on the bar at my local. like Nate said, i feel like a dick if i just use it to get rid of loose change, and i don't feel like i'm a 'good person' for doing it because i don't see it as enough, but i'd rather it go there than in the jar at home.
i don't have a good enough income at the moment to actually sign up to any charities, but when i do i'm probably gonna sign up (to donate) to the RSPCA and The Brooke. i love animals and have a soft spot for bovine/equine.
