I was in Tesco on the Antrim Road earlier on and when I was leaving there was some fella with a bucket and a roll of stickers collecting for charity. I just stuck a pound coin in the bucket and he put a sticker on my jumper. Didn't even look at it untill I took it off just now. MoreToLife - Support for the involuntarily childless. Never heard of them or what they do but the question is, do we just stick our money into things like that to avoid feeling tight? Surely we should consider before donating? They might well be a very worthwhile charity but I haven't a clue.
I actually Googled them there and this is what I found - Who lives involuntarily childless? You can’t tell! More To Life members are childless by circumstance and not by choice. Our community recognises that people are not defined by their childlessness; that it is possible to have a fun, fulfilling life that acknowledges that children were a wanted part of the future; but for many reasons were not possible. Within MTL you will find people of all ages getting together, chatting online, going away for weekends - having fun without any questions, assumptions or judgements. We recognise that embracing a different life is like getting on an emotional rollercoaster. Highs of relief finding people who understand and accept you and your situation; and also lows when you need support in coming to terms with your new life and in moments of reflection and sadness. Being part of More To Life is like getting on that rollercoaster with friends in your carriage - we're here for the journey!

Of course I look at what I'm donating to before I hand over any money. Would have been a laugh if you'd got home and found it was an Orange Lodge sticker.
Jewish. Although for a simpleton, you have happened upon a legitimate point. GAA bag packers have been forced to stop due to complaints for some reason or another.
They were not showing who they were collecting for in South down too clearly but they were showing it too much in Antrim town. Antrim rd Tesco has GAA teams packing bags all the time. Just last week I donated to an Irish dancing school through this way. The guy tonight was standing by the doors though.
How much is enough? They all put their jerseys on but that was too much.....or some ****. I didn't donate to a GAA collection down in Cork. **** them, rival club.
