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?

    A small local one. The big ones do great work, of course, but another £1000 doesn’t change things much for them, whereas £1000 would make a tangible difference for a small charity

      You’ve made an excellent point! However having volunteered for many charities, some are truly dreadfully run and will squander the money. I’d visit and sound them out, get a feel for them and ask re finances
