Has anyone noticed the miniumum donation to charity is £5? Watching stand up to cancer minimum doantion applies ,just watched the great sewing bee on BBC2 same thing minimum donation WTF ?

Something to do with credit card charges, like in a shop/pub?

They have bills to pay you know.

😉

I can see the logic behind it but wonder if people who cant afford a fiver feel discriminated / poor maybe those that can afford outnumber those that cant

you can still chuck a quid in a bucket can’t you?

I suppose they figure that the most people prepared to donate (which don’t forget is always a minority of those watching) will donate once regardless of the actual number, and the number of people put off by the extra £4 is less than 5x the number of people who would only pay £1 before.

£5 is a beer and a posh packet of crisps in my local, or 2 beers in the cheep bar.
