I would like to use part of my income to set up a regular monthly charitable donation. I have a couple of charities in mind but really I don't know where the money would be best spent to make a worthwhile difference.

My first thought was Cancer Research UK, but I don't really think my few quid a month will affect their £700m budget at all. Any smaller ones of good reputation?

Often, a local school will have a PTA that's also a charity. Budgets have been cut so much that many can't even afford coloured pencils for younger kids to draw with.

Not exactly saving lives I know, but a few quid a month can buy a new book, a new football, all kinds of stuff they can't afford
