    Donate from your Ltd and you can even get tax relief on it.

    If the big names don't float your boat then chucking a tenner a week, or even a month, at your local food bank will make a real, immediate, difference to someone's life.
    Yep, I'm ok with that.

      I will donate to pretty much anything. I have one rule:

      The management costs do not exceed 15%.

      This means that I do not donate to any major charities, but have to put research into smaller ones that use more of my money to help people than to fundraise.

      This requires my time and effort, which I view as a much more productive activity than doing laps of my paddock or jumping jacks.
      surely there should be a website somewhere listing the charities and their admin costs

        How much to permaban Atwat? Set a high price as I reckon there are hundreds of CUK posters who would fund this. I managed to get 333 to sponsor me for an Ironman in 2012.

          Nice idea, a sponsored silence of the most riling members that allows the mods to abuse their power legitimately.

          Similarly, how about pledges to try to coax back old classic members who may well be lurking.
          Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

            We set up a regular payment to the RSPB as behind us is a massive nature reserve which we regularly take the kids and dog for a walk around
            That'll be Rothwell Country park then. BTW I moved near you last July. I support the Canal trust as that's where I walk/cycle. Also kidney stuff.

              Can I get a cat from our local shelter... and backdate it 5 years?
