Poll: Do you give money to charities collecting on the street?

Street based charity collections bring in cash but they are not to everyone’s liking.

TODAY IS DAFFODIL Day, the annual fundraiser for the Irish Cancer Society.

Over 4,000 people adorned in yellow will be stationed around the country with buckets and boxes collecting for the charity.

Street based charity collections bring in cash and are a great way of raising the profile of an organisation but they are not to everyone’s liking, regardless of the cause.

Do you donate money to charities often? Do you only give money to the charities you know? Are you skeptical about where the money goes? Do charity street fundraisers bother you?

So today we would like to know, do you give money to charities collecting on the street?
