I would like to use part of my income to set up a regular monthly charitable donation. I have a couple of charities in mind but really I don't know where the money would be best spent to make a worthwhile difference.

My first thought was Cancer Research UK, but I don't really think my few quid a month will affect their £700m budget at all. Any smaller ones of good reputation?

Love that you're doing this! It's a fantastic thing to do, and long term donations are great cos they allow charities to make long term plans.

I personally don't give to cancer cos they get loads of donations. Charity tins, sponsored runs, direct debit etc people often choose cancer. I sponsor a kid with action aid and donate to Womens Aid cos they do great work with children.
