Advice please - how to donate money to someone for charity


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone


My friend is currently in Cambodia doing volunteer work for a kids residential centre. She is the only Occupational Therapist there and desperately needs funds to help make the place better, the kids have holes in clothes, no shoes, no toothbrushes etc etc - I am going to do an appeal over here with all my friends and work colleagues etc, but I need some way to get the money donated across to her.


I looked at JustGiving and it looks like only registered charities can do it (they're not one), and something called Yimby but it all takes a cut of the money, plus with Yimby you only get 30 days to raise the funds. Does anyone have any ideas (other than me literally giving out her account details and people transferring cash to her - which understandably I don't think people would be too happy with), that we could try? I am probably being dim and overlooking something very simple!!


Thanks

    • Hello my name is Kat and I’m currently studying Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy with CPHT London, and I’m offering free online hypnotherapy sessions as part of my professional training.  This is a safe, modern, and well-researched approach that helps people break free from the negative cycles of anxiety, low mood, and stress, and move toward calm, confidence, and lasting positive change. I’m studying CPHT’s accredited training, led by experienced, practising hypnotherapists, which is widely recognised as the UK's gold standard in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Over my training, I’ve already seen great results, and I’m now looking for volunteers who may benefit from support with 🌿 Anxiety and low mood (including stress, sleep issues, or IBS) What’s included: 💫 A full course of free weekly sessions (typically 8–12 weeks) 💫 Insight into how your brain works, and how to work with it 💫 Practical tools to feel calmer, more confident, and in control What’s required: ✔️ Commitment to weekly sessions ✔️ A stable internet connection for online sessions I have an enhanced DBS check and am a student member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the Association for Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy. If you’d like to take part or have any questions, please send me a direct message to book an initial consultation. I’d love to hear from you Warmest Kat
    • If this is approved BT will probably apply to remove the phone box. These cost far more than they earn and are very vulnerable to vandelism. The old phone boxes are not ideal to become WiFi hubs, and will need the same level of engineering work to convert (they will be connected over copper). And they don't offer the advertising opportunity which pays for the free WiFi. 
    • They're big and ugly electronic advertising boards. There's a shagged out phone box across the road that could do the same thing!
    • does seem to take up a width of the pavement that could be better used (i.e. we have to walk around it)  and I'm not sure we need advertising on the pavements. Perhaps there are benefit's I don't know of.
