Jimmy_D's Donation

Bravo sir - big respect. Another vote for MacMillan

Lovely gesture. For me it would be the British Heart Foundation. We lose far too many people to heart disease at an early age. All causes are good though.

 

Or perhaps send it straight to Ron? He clearly feels he is short of a bob or two!

As my father has it https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/

 

Lost a Grandma to this, so it get's my vote.

 

Me too, so also my vote.

Another vote for Alzheimer's Society.

Top man Jimmy.

 

The Piam Brown ward of Southampton General is an amazing place that looks after sick children. Sadly they couldn't save the daughter of friends of ours, but it wasn't through the want of trying.

[Jimmy_D]

There are so many good causes here, and anyone that nominated a charity because their lives have been affected in some way has my deepest sympathy.

 

We do have a clear choice of the Alzheimer's Society, a very worthy cause.

JimmyD, I said I would match your donation to Alzheimers. What's the best way of doing that, direct to them or via you? If you want to PM me a/c details I can drop anything in there (if that is the best way).

Best way would just be to donate through their website

[angelman]

Done.

Top lads. Great cause.

[eddie]

just a warning.

I work for a humanitarian non-profit and know many others in the charity sector

worth flagging that not all of 'em use the money wisely.

Vast majority of our funding is from different gov'ts or institutions, so there's a lot of stringent accountability and if you don't show results, you won't get nowt.

A lot of these other charities, especially those that don't get grant funding but instead rely on bake sales and sponsored walks, tend to be pretty shabby in their use of money.

I heard that British heart Foundation is one of the worst.

Their indirect costs are over 50%, for comparison, ours are 15.

 

Not wanting to be all down, and theres some great ones out there!!

 

For that list of comparison see: It's not exhaustive and most of what I've heard is from word of mouth

I rather thought the thread was about Jimmy D giving to charity "if" Koeman was Everton manager at the beginning of next season. I should wait until that actually happens.........

[Tony F]

Given the interesting stuff on other threads - maybe Jimmy will be seen to have been hasty - tho all in a good cause mind :-)

Nice one, Jimmy_D.

[Saint Benali]

Nice one lads fair play to you. It's a great cause
