As part of my advertising efforts, as well as wanting to do something nice, I contacted one of the cancer charities offering to donate a percentage of my profits in October. I thought about maybe having a special 'pink' treatment only offered in October that I could then donate 100% of the profits from. I explained that I was a small business, only just starting up and so couldn't afford a big donation.
Two weeks later, I have received a reply inviting me to apply to donate and stating that I need to donate a minimum of £5000 per year. Also, I am not allowed to use any of the charity's branding or logo.
Jeepers! If that's a small donation, I'd hate to think what a large one is! Sticking to small, local charity now I think....
