    I do lots of charity work for Marie Curie Cancer Care, including street collections, coordinating collection boxes in local businesses, etc,
    My brother recently ran the great north run for their cause last month too.

    It is a charity I am passionate about after the care they gave my Dad in their hospice and the dedication the marie curie nurses gave my Gran at home in their final days last year.

    I also ran the race for life for Cancer Research last year!

    It hard to decide what charity to give to but it has to be kids charitys and breast cancer these are two that are close to the chefs heart. mum lost the battle to cancer and kids dont ask to be born they always seem to get get the short straw. Once a month i make some goodies for the staff of a local hospice. Im gratefull that im healthy :)

    My mother in law died a really painful death from cancer over 26 yrs ago now. We have supported cancer charities ever since. I also set up a direct debit donation for a childrens charity about 2 yrs ago now. I prefer it that way as you know you are regularly giving. Otherwise you may not bump into the street collector for ages and ages and when you do you realise you havn’t given for a while.
    We also raise funds for the Kent Air Ambulance by selling our carrier bags to the public for 5p should they need one. Since last year we have raised over £600 just solely through these sales. Plus hundreds more through their collection box.
    I will not support Animal chairities though. Not somthing that appeals to me.

    i just dont do charity
    i dont really trust any of them
    there are too many people getting a slice before it gets to where its neede

    take the guide dogs for the blind for instance
    when some one puts money in a box for them they honestly belive it will fund a guide dog for some poor person
    if only that was the case
    the gdba have millions in the bank so much so that they give there staff subsidised mortgages with the funds
    the truth is they have more money than they need for the dogs
