Some of you may remember that on the old forum a Member had suggested a charity that he worked for that we could adopt as the site charity and we have not seen him re-register yet and we already have funds to give to charity!

Please post your suggestions on a National Charity less Cancer Research UK that would be a worthy cause and we will pick the most wanted one!

Many thanks

How about the NSPCC??? Or any other charity for ill or abused children??

Not bad at all, Childrens charity's are good!

I was thinking of Great Ormond Street Hospital as well!

 

[CupraGirl]

Yeah that would be a good one!!

How about a hospice or something to do with cancer research?

It was Mad Dave from CGTI that suggested a homeless one that he worked for.

It's a shame that Cancer Research UK were a bit funny about it, I would've definately said them.

I agree on NSPCC as a good charity for us to donate money to, there are many poor children that go through a lot and it would be good to help them out.

A quick question I have, would we have one charity to donate to or would we change it from time to time in order to help out on all aspects?

Yup, I really like the NSPCC too. I think Great Ormond Street is good too, but maybe some people will think it isn't national enough if you know what I mean.

Another suggestion might be the National Autistic Society.

Or, if we are starting to get international members who might want the odd bit of merchandise, how about an international charity like the International Red Cross.

Picking up on Tom's train of thought though and changing it a little, is it feasible to have two charities i.e. one national and one international? Split the money down the middle.

Not too sure which one but I think that the money should deffo go to a childrens charity of some sort. The NSPCC sound good, but how about childline? they are always saying they never have enough phone lines.

 

[Guest]

I have sent an email to the NSPCC, I guess we could look at childline as well

Thats great Si

anything 2 do with helping kids, homeless etc gets my vote

Yeah not enough support is given to charities like the NSPCC . Its name doesn't even sound as special as something like RoSPA (Royal society) which is insane, as it's the future of the country we're talking about here....

NSPCC gets my vote.

 

[Cupra Dave]

and my vote

I spoke to the NSPCC this morning for over an hour and they are delighted that we want to be involved with the site and they were quite flattered as opposed to Cancer Research UK.

It would appear that they would like to appear on our T-Shirts etc etc as well, would anybody have any objection to this!

They are also doing a laminated letter that will state that we are working with the NSPCC and we can then take it to shows with us!

IT Guys get ready as I said we will publish info on the site and have a banner for them.

Good news I feel and at last somewhere to give some money to

I hope that most approve

 

[Cupra Dave]

deffo mate and I do not mind them having a mention on the t-shirts

will they sponsor the t-shirts?

 

[Madskiair]

I think that is fantastic if we have a wee logo of theirs on our merchandise. makes us look like a real class act, a nice bunch, which we are.

Well done Si on getting this organised!

When I pick up the clothing I will find out how much extra it will cost for an extra logo.
