It all stems from a joke tweet Sam did in response to fans tweeting him about what address to write to him, but unfortunately the power of twitter is often underestimated and loads of people took him seriously and sent him money which he immediately donated to Clic (because of Josie I guess). He has tweeted the link to the charity to prevent anyone else sending money directly to him, and to be fair he has never claimed any credit for bringing Clic to anyone's attention.
