things you have done lately for others

Charities aren't infallible. A lot of the money you give to the bigger or more general "Help the Needy" or "Children in Need" etc. is wasted on admin.

This is what I meant when I said money going into charities is diluted, perhaps I exaggerated a little, but same general point. How dare me....

I find collecting & helping personally is better as you know you've personally got the money without it being worn at before the needy receive it.

You're better off giving to either specific cause charities, such as Spinal Research, or Marie Curie (Both of which I give to as thanks for them being extraordinarily helpful in the past), or local ones, such as North West Air Ambulance (If you live in the North West of England naturally).
