Club Charity for 2018

[ScoobieFloz]

I have been thinking  , we haven’t raised any money for a charity for a few years now so let’s do it next year again. The question is which charity should we choose?

If you have one in mind comment below with a reason why we should choose that charity.

Well personally a charity close to my heart is autism east midlands who help children and young adults with autism which my son suffers with they do amazing work and rely on charitable donations to help people with this condition deal with the things in life we take for granted so they have my vote

I'm all for any charity but one that stands out for me is Alzheimer's society my girlfriends dad suffers from the disease.......  i think its starting to affect more and more familes and the understanding on this is very difficult in many ways........ all help would be appreciated....

The one closest to me would be the British heart foundation after my grandad who passed away 7 years ago from a heart attack

Dementia

. Where memories are of a long loved family member are destroyed by a cruel disease. Turning them into a stranger in their own home.

Agree, Dementia/ Alzheimer's . A timely link, it's left to charities to do their own little bit when big Pharma business pulls out:

Since I personally suffer from genetic heart failure I was tempted to pick the British Heart Foundation but after much deliberation and research this years charity will be Alzheimers Research UK. We will receive their charity pack within the next week or two. 

We hope to have some new merchandise to raise money through the club shop and will also post other fund raising ideas on the forum too.

Any of the three causes are truly worthy our support. Shame we aren’t big enough to support all. 

 

Anyone who can get  prizes for a charity auction ?

Bit late on this one but glad to see the charity chosen as my mum has dementia now and it needs all the help & investigation it can get ... terrible, awful disease. Hope I can support in some way and if it involves my scoob all the better !

I agree a worthy choice of charity im sure we will all do our best to support them and raise a few dollars for them as for the other charitys that are mentioned in the above posts can we not beg rob or steal some prizes of some description to raffle off or bid on im sure if we put our feelers out we could snaffle some goodies to raffle off or auction off im sure if we explain its for good causes companys will give us a few bits and bobs im gonna have a sniff about most definatley
