Giving Guide

In this section of the website we want to provide more information about our partner charities and explain more about what they do and how you can donate to them.

On these pages we've tried to give a more general overview that will hopefully help you make up your mind that you're making the right decision in choosing a charity to support.

It may be that on a voluntary basis you want to give your time or you might show your support with a monetary donation. However you choose to give to charity, it's important you know you're doing the right thing.

P.S.

We're going to keep expanding this section too - so do check back again.

If you've got a suggestion for an article let us know. We'd love to hear it so please drop us a note here.

History Of British Charities

Britain has a long history of charitable giving

Our oldest registered charity dating back to the Twelfth Century. Many of our earliest charities were founded by religious groups, the nobility, or wealthy individuals to help the neediest members of society.

This was normally the poor – especially orphans and widows and the sick or disabled. Help would be provided in the form of shelter, food, clothing and caring for the sick. Charitable organisations often took the form of hospitals, orphanages and poor houses.
