Many people like to do charities in the UK. There are many charities in the UK.
People in London give￡2 billion a year to charity. Most people in the UK give money once a month. People usually give money to children and young people, to make new medicines, and to schools, animals and hospitals. Most people still give money in cash (现金).
Charity shops pay managers to work in the shops, but other people, called volunteers, work there and are not paid. People can give their old clothes, toys, books and other things that they don't use any more to charity shops. The volunteers then wash the things to make sure they are clean before selling them. The money that they get from selling things always goes to a charity. Many people believe that you can find some special things cheaply in charity shops; you just have to know where to look!
Another way to give money to charity is by running or cycling in a charity race. You can ask your friends and family to give money to help you and the charity. Sometimes they give you money for every kilometre that you finish.
