Thanks to everyone that either posted up or sent in suggestions via email. We have been through all of your initial suggestions for suitable charities for the 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Markers and have narrowed the list down to the top five according to the number of suggestions. All of the charities suggested were very worthy causes but we could only put five into this poll….
Simply click on the UK charity you would like us to support the most and we will find a winner. We have written a quick review of the charity and also a link to their website (in no particular order) below:
Headway Somerset
Headway Somerset is a unique organisation helping people across the county to live as independent a life as possible after brain injury. It promotes a wider understanding of all aspects of brain injury and provides information, support and services for people with brain injury. It also provides assistance in accessing and signposting other services as well as much needed respite care for family and carers.

Help for Heroes
"It’s about the 'blokes', our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."

So what next... Once the poll has finished we are going to contact the chosen charity and work with them to decide on how best to raise as much money as we can.
So vote away and let’s see who wins… Thanks to everyone for your input and suggestions.
