Charities on a budget!

I'm on a disability pension and barely have enough to live on. So I have to be choosy and creative. There is a site called i-donate which sends you emails and donates money to your chosen charity via the points you accumulate.
I never give to charities that ring me up because they get too pushy.
I will always support local raffles.
And I give my time at the local neighbourhood house.

Hi there I too do not give to charities that keep calling for money.
I am part of a Knitting and crochet group - a lovely group of ladies that meet once a week, mostly to just socialise (we do our own thing),
the group as a whole donates regularly throughout the year to local charities only some ladies do more than others, they only donate when and how much they can and it is mainly their time and effort (but no-one is under any pressure), they don't have to, it is completely up to them. The age range of the group is 36 - 86years old. Maybe you might find something like that in your area.

Help Caféstudy members by responding to their questions, or ask your own in Café Chat, and you will get the chance of earning extra rewards. Caféstudy will match these and donate equally to our two chosen Australian charities.

Food Bank Australia not only plays a lead role in fighting hunger, but also a vitally important role in tackling Australia’s $20 billion food waste problem and helping the environment.

Australian Marine Conservation Society are an independent charity, staffed by a committed group of scientists, educators and passionate advocates who have defended Australia’s oceans for over 50 years.

ReachOut is the most accessed online mental health service for young people and their parents in Australia. Their trusted self-help information, peer-support program and referral tools save lives by helping young people be well and stay well. The information they offer parents makes it easier for them to help their teenagers, too.
