Our supported charity is the Julian Trust Night Shelter, in Bristol.

I know any amount will help.

For me,any area Air Ambulance,or the R.N.L.I.

Both save many lives every year, but, unfortunately,rely on donations to do so.

Another vote for the Air Ambulance, as my mate needed it not so long ago and may not have survived without their help.

Cancer Research or a children's one (Barnardo's or similar) may be worth adding to the list.

You will need to pick a specific Air Ambulance because they are all seprate charities such as Midlands Air Ambulance for example.

If I can have another nomination how about the Blood Bikes http://www.severnfreewheelers.co.uk/

If I voted for one charity, it would be a homeless charity, and there are so many, it's nice to have one picked...so i'd vote the Julian Trust
Cheers

OK, we will go for West Midland Air Ambulance. And, no, you can't nominate another charity. :lol:
