I do, based on set criteria.
For example I won't give to 'megacharities' like UNICEF because fundamentally I believe they waste more of my ££ on their various overheads and bullshit like sponsoring football teams. I also hate adverts made by 'sincere' celebs and ANY form of charity that involves monthly contributions because they fund a pot and not a specific need.
I do sponsor friends or family and I am happy to participate in charitable events. I also donate on an ad-hoc basis to specific charities or causes.
For the most part I think people should donate as they see fit so I don't really think my way is right as such.... More just a series of guidelines I like to follow!
With that in mind, I'd tell the chugger to fuck off.
