As in years past, I'm going to give donations to charities on behalf of your good selves, Dreamwidth Circle, if you're willing to click the buttons in the poll below.
I will donate the amount I’d otherwise spend on a card and postage to the following three charities on your behalf - £1.50 per person. If you select more than one charity, I’ll divide the donation among them. Hence, if you select all three, I’ll donate 50 pence to each on your behalf. I’m not planning to name anyone other than myself when I make the donations. The poll is completely anonymised and located only on Dreamwidth.
If you are able to make a small reciprocal donation on my behalf as well, that would be wonderful, but it is by no means obligatory. Please select from the following three charities:
I'll tally up the votes and make my donation by solstice (21 December). Comments are screened and will remain so.

If you are able to make a small reciprocal donation on my behalf as well, that would be wonderful, but it is by no means obligatory. Please select from the following three charities:
- Medecins sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) is an international aid organisation that provides emergency aid to people affected by natural and less-natural disasters and war. They are independent, a-partisan and a-religious and use this independence to provide medical aid to everyone who needs it. (Description taken from

innerbrat.) They were pretty much the reason the response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa this year was even remotely effective, and I plan to double the donation total to this charity because of that. - Mind is a UK charity that "provide[s] advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding."
- The Abortion Support Network is a volunteer-run a-partisan charity that "provides financial assistance, accommodation in volunteer homes, and confidential, non-judgmental information to women in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland who are travelling to England to access a safe and legal abortion." If you want to know why I’ve chosen this charity, I invite you to read why I’m pro-choice and/or the story of my abortion experience. (Trigger warnings on the latter for blood and emotional and physical pain.)
