I think this is a great idea but I am always so disheartened when they say minimum donation. I am a firm believer in charity should never ask for an amount they should be thankful of any donation.

Many people could not afford to donate £15 don't get me wrong I know many people could. I would have donated £5 but they will not accept that. So they could be losing out on many donations due to this fact.

You can donate as much or as little as you like, there is an option at the bottom where you can decide how much you would like to donate. You check the box that says "other".

Erli that is if you want to donate more. If you read it you can only donate a minimum of £15. If you select other it will not accept a payment for less than £15

£15 is the amount to donate if you want a gift certificate. You can make a donation of any amount to this charity, the 'other' box can be used for amounts less than £15.
