Charity Donations Instead of Payment
Hi All
Over the past few months I've started 'asking' for charity donations instead of payment for stuff I've sold on here. Every
single person has been generous and honest!
I notice that others are doing the same.
I just wanted to try and encourage others to do the same................. :-)

I have recently done the same thing. I even introduced a quiz question in order to "win" the giveaway.
I normally leave it up to the "winner" to decide on a beneficiary, but will in future, if asked, suggest a donation to a charity that
might benefit a Locoster.
Air Ambulance maybe??
Or more likely Samaritans!!

I usually suggest a cancer charity as it's something that affects so many lives and I lost my mum to cancer a few years ago.

I don't sell a lot but when folk have given me stuff for nothing I always make a donation in their name.
Lymphoma Association for me.

G/f thinks it should be Locostbuilders Anonymous .........
I'm a locostbuilder and i spend too much time on this site!
I'd say pick a charity that is close to your heart. That way you know you've made a difference to something you care about.

Actually that's a bloody good idea!
Hey maybe we should set up a locostbuilders charity, a fund to loan people that hundred or so quid for the IVA or to replace a damaged wheel or
something..
