I don't bother with Comic Relief since it never seems to help, given the billions of pounds the UK gives each year there would have been noticeable improvements by now. Obviously the money doesn't go where we're told it goes.
I only donate to charities I feel need it. Diabetes UK is probably the only charity I donate to and that's only because I volunteered there and saw how very little charity money they get (and struggle) compared to other big UK charities.
When it comes to celebs I don't mind them asking us at home to donate if they themselves donate and help. Although most of them get paid to go to Africa, visit for 1 hour and say how it 'touched' and 'changed' them, donate nothing and then get paid more to speak in front of a camera in a studio for the show, all so they just appear like a kind hearted person. I do wonder if there are any genuine celebs on these charity events that do care. Probably not, but that's showbiz for you.
