I'm trying to find out what charities are local, as in the money stays in Caithness. It's for a fundraiser. I tried CVG website but it's being updated. If anyone knows of any could you post them for me please.

Most charities have a local branch and for a number of them the money does stay locally (or you can specify with your donation that it is spend on something in Caithness/Highland area). However some that are specific to Caithness include most Youth Group organisations, sports groups, Riding for Disabled, etc
Best plan might be to contact someone from the organisation you want to give to and check if their money stays local or goes to the big pot.
Hope thats helpful
