Default Truthfully; Do you give money to beggars on the street?
Tbh, i do sometimes.
Purely cause of my religious beliefs and karma etc.

My religious beliefs meaning; that the beggar could be sometype of angel that god sent from heaven to test my personality, it sounds abit daft i know but its true imo.

Not all of them, I tend to ignore those ones you see that are wearing the latest nike air max trainers and have a can or two of cider sat beside them.

There's a big issue guy outside aldis, he's been there for years and I always give him the quid from my trolley, I don't bother taking the big issue though.

Not usually because a lot of them aren't homeless. And if they were there's plenty of help to get them a bed for a night if they need it. You can't sit down for 5 mins in my city without someone coming up for money or a cig so I guess it has made me quite hardened to it. I've volunteered in a few places where I've seen a lot of people like that throw help away or just simply aren't interested.

Not often. Most of the time you can tell the money that you give to them will go towards their next fix.

Omg it's the same in the town nearest to us and guess what the local council decided to do? build benches in a seating area right outside the bank/atm that just 100% made it even worse so they all hang around there now waiting to scrounge money.

..yeah sometimes and like Josy to the Big Issue guy ..my local town is quite small and there aren't really many 'beggars' but if I'm on holiday etc, I tend to take stuff for the children rather than give money...

Sometimes, I don't like to do it because I don't want them spending money on drugs or drink. I know that sounds sanctimonious... but I do support Shelter and I buy a Big Issue regularly. I think it's shameful that one of the richest countries in the world has people living and sleeping rough.

Nah, not because I have any principle against it or what they'd spend their money on etc. but just because I'm too cheap to spare with any change really
