I see this a lot, Aims.. but surely we don't know that they don't?.    Just because they're part of this show, encouraging others to give money, doesn't necessarily mean that they're not supporting charities too.

That's what I always think. I'm sure they do donate .......surely if nothing else they'd be embarrassed not to.

They can't win.. if they don't donate publicly, they're greedy so and sos and if they do.. they're looking for praise.   


well said Kaffy

I just don't see the whole thing of being seeing to 'be tied down to one charity'

I had to Google GNAA... to say I was confused by the  top result was an understatement. 

I haven't Googled, cos I have an idea as to what they're about 

you really should... just type GNAA 

I did and gave 'em 50 quid

not sure what you mean sprouty?   I guess they're just taking part in this because they've been approached, but they might do other stuff.

Genuine question: how do you choose, without it pulling on your heart strings?

It's called 'steeling' yourself. 

I accept that I can get drawn in to individual stories of sadness and sheer desperation. How does 'steel youself' work, genuinely, I'm interested

What I mean, is sometimes there are more 'deserving' than the rest 

 

That's not to say that cases on CIN aren't but there are other charities out there too 

How the hell we separate and distinguish between more and less deserving Sprouty I do not know, (sounds like the poor house philosophy, but I'm sure that's not what you meant) All I know is that more and more it seems to depend on fragile and unreliable charitable giving

Had an interesting discussion about the Chileans holding their hands on their hearts for love of their country..resulted in me reluctantly conceding that most who do so are fascists!

I mostly enjoyed Torville and Dean and all the dance routines from Eastenders, they were great. I was waiting to see Katherine Tate's sketch but a friend phoned and by the end of a long call missed it and whatever/whoever followed. I mainly watch to hear the real life stories and all the ones I saw had me in tears. I think the Brits are amazingly generous to donate so much to the charities that offer hope and help where the children and families need it.
