Another 6 months has flown by and it is time for us to choose the charities that we will be supporting in the first half of 2012.

CSR contributions are made by the employees of Currencies Direct, and so it is only fair that the charities we support are chosen democratically by the employees! I asked for the names of any charities that are close to peoples hearts and we had a great response meaning a voting sheet containing 31 different charities. As always there were a variety of different causes ranging from animal welfare, to sickness to overseas charities all of them worthy of a vote - but which were your favourite 9 charities?

Below I have put the winning charities and the month in 2012 that we we will be raising funds for them!

January/February

Neuro Foundation
The Wooden Spoon
Barnardo’s

March/April

Oxfam - in support of Jarrad Hubble’s London Marathon entry
Great North Air Ambulance
Daneford Trust

May/June

The British Heart Foundation
Touraid
Chickenshed

I hope your favourite charity made it to the list!
