Banksy admires good deeds thread, by flatcolor on Sept 10, 2020 8:07:08 GMT 1, For personal reasons, I donate regularly to the American Heart Association.
I like to donate to various children's hospitals and I do a couple of charity walks a year.
Aside from that, the acts that move me the most, is when a community rallies around one of its own.
Seeing money drives at the local pub, or local businesses for people that desperately need the money, whether through injury, sickness or natural disaster is a powerful thing.
Giving to charity can be a daunting task, as we all want the money we give to end up in the right hands and to actually help people.
There are so many more ways to be charitable than just donating money too, donating time at shelters, youth centers, soup kitchens and more.
Great thread idea.
Hope to hear some good stories (better than my ramblings anyway, ha ha)

Im also very weary about what charities I support, theres so many i wouldn't touch, giving directly gives me more of a satisfaction feeling some how.
Thanks for sharing ๐

Love welcomes has obviously seen a huge amount of support for example.

I have some photos of Banksy street art / Bristol show on my old flickr account and occasionally get a request for a photo to be used with permission. In lieu of payment I always ask they make a donation to sightsavers.

Yes, I found out about sightsavers.org from Banksy.

Banksy admires good deeds thread, by Deleted on Sept 10, 2020 11:04:15 GMT 1, Again like many, for personal reasons I lean towards Autism charities, stroke and cancer. I have an autistic child which is very challenging and not something that will be apparent to those who don't, so I appreciate what parents go through. It impacts not only my sons life but that of mine, my daughter and wife as well. A father who was paralysed by stroke and the impact of that on everyone, and my mother had cancer, lost my mother in law to cancer and father in law has just found out his cancer has returned. I give to local hospice who cared for mother in law.
I've had my fingers burnt with charity donations so quite cautious now. I like to know where my money goes so mainly give to local charities with a specific aim for the money.
I can't afford a boat like banksy but will gladly give money if the local charity needs equipment.

Banksy admires good deeds thread, by startimeash on Sept 10, 2020 14:05:07 GMT 1, My wife and I work with a dog charity called Oldies Club in the UK. They take old dogs who have been made homeless through no fault of their own and place them with people so they can live out their remaining time in peace. Our first was Sandy - his owner died suddenly. Sandy had been with him since he was a puppy. None of the family wanted him, so he'd been pushed around kennels for a year before he came to us, and he'd started exhibiting a lot of behaviour issues. We only had him for 5 months before he died. He was an utter dick, and a wonderful dog who I miss daily.
We now have Charlie, who is coming up to his 14th birthday. He's been with us for nearly 5 years. He's the exact opposite of Sandy, just massively chilled out. He's had a lot of medical issues, including bouts of chronic incontinence, which meant that our house smelled of dog pee for long stretches. He takes it all with good grace. He's devoted to my wife. He also doesn't act his age 
URL is www.oldies.org.uk/ - adopt, don't shop!
