Default Have you ever done anything for charity?

Be it volunteer work, a sponsored run, a skydive, donating clothes etc. Have you or do you do anything for charity?

For a school project we all had to form groups of 2s and 3s and see who made the most money for charity. I was stuck with 2 people I didn't particularly like. We thought we'd go around and get kids to donate 30p or something to guess how many sweets were in a jar, whoever was nearest to it won the jar. The 2 in my group wanted to eat some of the sweets each day and I found myself doing most of the work. We raised Ł10 so I put an extra Ł20 in. Some little girl who was off by miles won it. Then we won 3 certificates in an assembly cos we did so well. I stared at the teachers, the students and the RSPCA woman blankly and just said "Thanks" and then sat down.

I never spoke of it again until just now.

I've been working in a charity for the last 3 months. 3 shifts a week, now all on the till.

This is for experience (which is valuable), though, not from the goodness of my heart.

Done a sponsored run and walk before, normally give a few quid when it's comic relief or something like that, I'd like to do more really but I'm too lazy

I think they've done events or whatever at school and like made you pay money for a non-uniform day which goes to charities, so I think so yeah. But I've never given it to them out of choice. :s

I did two fun runs when I was about 10/11... I tend to be quite generous with collection boxes... but that's about it

5k, 10k and 1/2 marathons as well as walks, doing car washes, was heavily involved in a UN project for years and in arranging all sorts of events locally to raise moneys for starving children and families.
