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.

Never


some beggars go home after a day Tricking the public

[Glenn.]

Ones with dogs I do. I buy dog food for then too /saint

[Loukas]

No all the beggars that i know of are defiantly hardcore drug addicts, i'm not funding their habit

[mizzy25]

No never

[Vicky.]

No but if I am pissed I have been known to buy a coffee/sandwich etc for them.

I did used to give to one guy quite regularly though//got to know him through work (he was ALWAYS outside my workplace when I was waiting to go home)

I know of people though..and this sounds ridiculous but its true...who sit on the street to get money then go home after hitting a certain target. 2 people I 'know' do this. Kinda sours my views on giving cash tbh...hence giving food/drink instead

[joeysteele]

Yes I do, I feel very fortunate in my life and for whatever reasons these individuals find themselves on the streets,I decide for myself not to make any judgements and when I come across them I will hand them some funds.

I have also taken them for a meal or got a takeaway and had one with them,talked to them a fair bit and the life stories are fascinating.

I am aware that I never know, one day I could be on the streets for any reason/s,so I feel a duty,only speaking for myself, to reach out to others who appear to be and may well be far less fortunate than I am.

Yes most of the time.

[Ninastar]

sometimes

i almost always give half of my change away when i buy something at a shop. always put it in one of those little charity bucket things

[Kate!]

I don't give money. I buy them something to eat and drink instead.

[Beso]

Of course I do..

Each and everytime I see someone I like the look of.

Or a horse I see in the paper that takes my fancy I will usually give to the beggers at traffic lights that have the limps to raise my karma levels before the off..

I do write down the lucky intersections for future encounters...

[Kazanne]

Yes especially young musicians
