Why should you donate to charities?

Article by Linda Elliot

With all the injustice present in the world – from the exploitation of people, the planet and its animals – we can be grateful that there are some organisations willing to stand up and step in to help, where others can’t.

These organisations are the wonderful charities that we know around the world, but they can’t survive without the support of generous donations from their supporters.

When you decide to choose a charity to donate to it is an extremely strong way of standing up for an injustice you feel should be addressed.

During their years of operation coupled with the bravery and experience of their staff charities have the power to really make things change. Donating to charity is one of the best ways that you can lend your support and ensure that they can keep up their work of fighting injustice and inequality.

Confused about how to choose the best charity?

Well if you are, don’t worry, as lots of people feel the same. With so many charities working in the various niches of charity work the choice can sometimes feel complex and bewildering. But this shouldn’t put you off as their are some great sites out there that have loads of information on different charities so you are able to compare them, and choose the right charity for you.

Of course, you don’t need to only support one charity. In fact, many people have a handful of their best charities and donate to them all regularly or when the need arises – for example, in the case of disaster relief organisations.
