What charity to donate to? (1 Viewer)

[sleepy]

Hi, I’m bringing out a new tune in a few weeks time and I was going to do it as a fundraiser for Pieta House, but after reading some stories about how they’ve been operating over the course of the pandemic and specifically how they’ve treated staff, I’m not sure I feel overly comfortable about handing money over to them.

Can anyone here recommend a good charity that’s working either in the area of mental health or addiction services?

Is the Rutland Centre a good charity? I want to donate the money somewhere that’ll actually help people and that doesn’t fuck over it’s staff.

there is place near me called Carmha which is for people with both mental health and addiction problems.
addiction always has other underlying problems.
it is peer led, so all the 'staff' involved immediately say when first meeting with someone, that they have been through both themseves.

maybe there is something like this near you, sleepy?

Laura Lynn does great work. Were very good with a friend mine who had a terminally ill child.

I second that. We use them a lot with Eoin and they have been nothing but great.
September was the 10th birthday for them.

not the specific area you mentioned, how about A Little Lifetime, the charity that Pete's missus collects for when she does the mini marathons?

yeah, I know the CEO and she is a sounder. They are good skins.

Had a further look into this. Turns out Pieta House aren’t as bad as I’d been led to believe, and they seem to do some pretty decent work for people

Eoin has had a tough couple of weeks. Almost a week in temple street followed by two weeks on Laura Lynn ( they were once again amazing,and right when we really needed them).

He is now,against all the odds,back home.

I haven't felt the need to constantly update about him, but wanted to give a shout of appreciation to Laura Lynn and also the bumbleance he had two ridesin it and that made things a lot easier for us.

This thread seemed as good a place as any to give them that shout.

As good a place to share as any, just set up the donate page, but I'm attempting the Laura Lynne skipathon challenge yoke. Give me money

Done

I read that as “shrinkathon”, which was a little confusing.

Ah, yer a good bunch

 

[magicbastarder]

you do know that if you exceed your target, you also have to exceed your skips by the same multiplier?

 

[nuke terrorist]

Done.
