Best Charities Uk

Question: Working for charities in the UK?

I’ve been working the same job for the last 12 years and I’m currently looking for another job.
I’d really like to work for a charity, any idea how easy it is to find paid charity work in the UK? I’d be looking for something in Cardiff for around £15,000 a year and I don’t really mind what type of work it is. Any suggestions?
Erm no obviously I wasn’t expecting to earn £15,000 in a charity shop (although branch manager do earn around that much).

I was thinking administrative work or maybe something involved with helping asylum seekers.

Answer: I'm guessing you don't want to work in a Charity Shop... right? Maybe be involved with admin or organisation in some way?

I would suggest, firstly, that you look online for registerd charies, and locate any that are based in or around Cardiff, unless you are willing to move house. Then, to contact those charities and tell them you would like to work for a charity, as a career, and ascertain from them as to what openings they have, and what their annual pay is. I think Binary might be right in a sense, but I think the organisational side, and the getting "involved" might be a little more rewarding than working in a shop, and I feel this is more what you're looking for.

Good luck with your search. I hope this helps.

Ok... I'm back, after a bit of a look around. You might try www.nspcc.org.uk who do have a branch in Wales. Scroll to the bottom left of the page and click on 'View the latest employment opportunities at the NSPCC. Also this one lists jobs in Cardiff - www.1job.co.uk/group-jobs.php/11530/Cardiff%20City/14/Health,%20Care%20and%20Community%20Jobs

I hope they help. Good luck.

Fundraising Ideas College Students

Question: Funding for foreign study?

My college is taking a group of students abroad to China this upcoming summer for study, and I really, really want to go! Problem is, I work three jobs as it is to make ends meet to pay for this semester and our house, other bills, etc. I can put aside a little money here and there and ask the ‘rents to help out some, but I am sure to come up short still. We might do some fundraising… does anyone have any ideas for that? Or know of any scholarship opportunities for students going abroad with their school? (most scholarships that I’ve found are only for specific programs). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Answer: do a malley's chocolate bar sale....everyone loves them and they are only a dollar and cost about 50 cents when bought in large quantities for fundraising....

Charitable Giving For Christmas

Question: How to find a charitable organization for help with holiday gifts for my kids this Christmas?

Christmas time is supposed to be a happy and festive time of the year especially for the kids. Yet there are many underpriveldged kids that dread this time of year.
Mine included. I just would love to be able to give them something to make Christmas morning worth waking up for. Can anyone suggest something please?

Answer: Try contacting your local Salvation Army....they can usually supply Holiday provisions that include a gift for your children and food for a meal. If the Salvation Army cannot, they should be able to refer you to a local organization. Do it quick, I'm sure the agencies are already compiling lists of those to be served.

Don't forget**when you can-give back to the agencies that provide this service for you, you understand the value.

Best Charities To Donate Clothes

Question: i heard that i can donate my used clothes to a charity for tax credit any info on this?

I heard that its possible to donate my used clothes and earn tax credits is this true if so whats the process?

Answer: If you itemize your deductions then yes you can. You must get a signed form from the charity listing the items and the approx. dollar amount of their worth. If they do not include the dollar amt. you can estimate this portion yourself but you must have the form to claim the deduction - for audit purposes. Over a certain dollar amount of charity.., it is a utomatic audit.

If you do not itemize your deductions - then there is no credit.
