I think it would be fair to use one of the charities that already use ebay as a way of raising money

Seeing as it's xmas then I think it's only fitting that it goes to a childrens charity.

Because this is a 'Christmas treasure hunt' how about the charity that we are all reminded of at this time of year (xmas) 'Action Aid' (feed the world/band aid)

Operation Happy Child > they sand terminally ill kids on trips, and provide support to families.

My residents association has donated to them before, so can supply details & charity number if req.

Or there's always Simon's Christmas charity ;-);-);-)

Or something like Childline for children who need help all year round not just now.

Definitely agree with Mrs FL - they should go to a childrens' charity. They need all the help they can get and Christmas is really for children.

I would like to see it donated to any charities that help the homeless. This is the time of year when we all over indulge while these people have nothing no family no home no warmth.

Yes a childrens charity is a good idea.

Definately a childrens charity - but any of the items which are aimed at adults ie: coffee machines should be auctioned off and the money should be spent on toys or medical equipment or something else for kids. I think people will generally be pleased with any childrens charity.

Hi Elfie, so you HAVE been looking at the SUBHUNT CHARITY thread !

Hi everyone
Would like to start by wishing everyone a happy christmas.
Being an Aunty to a terminally ill quadriplegic teenager, i know how important respite care is, not just for the carer, but also the child.
All parents will understand how tiring it can be, with a newborn baby, totally dependent on you for it's every need. The first few months being the hardest. Now imagine that scenario seven days a week for the next thirteen years and in my nephews case hopefully longer.
I would like to nominate the Butterwich Hospice in Stockton, Teeside, who provide much needed respite, and have been a great help, to my sister and her family over the years.
