Which charity shall AVForums support in February?

Each month we are giving away one million impressions to a selected charity. AVForums visitors get to vote for which charity we support. Please vote for your preferred charity in the poll.

An 'impression' is the showing of a banner advert. You can support the chosen charity by visiting their website, finding out about them, and if you can, making a donation.

Macmillan Cancer Support was the winner in January.
Please pick one for February. Thanks from the AVForums team.

Re: Which charity shall AVForums support in February?

i voted for everyman as we lost Kinky Affro last year.

never really seen this thread before ( its a bit tucked away ) but is it mixed up every month?

as i think a charity for the elderly would be a good idea ( Age Concern, Help The Aged etc etc )

It's very prominent on the home page. We have the same pool each month with the winner removed each time.
Who is Kinky Affro?

Hi Stuart... I appriciate that i'm fairly new here but agree although it is on the main front page I bet most frequent members bookmark directly to their prefered sections so it might get more hits if it was on say the main forums section.

Just my thought...

I have gone for whizz kids..The'yre all worthy but some have a high profile already.

Ok thanks to all who voted. The British Heart Foundation narrowly beat Help For Heroes and will have the impressions for February.
