Just had a brilliant idea. Christmas soon, but just think about all those poor kids who won't be at home for that special day. Stuck in hospital or whatever. Here's the deal.

For the first 2 weeks in December, all Gameaday winners donate their winnings to Great Ormond Street Hospital for the kids there to reap the benefit of, from us. If we all agree to this, then perhaps we can lobby SR to send a console along with it, like a DC or something.

At least that way those guys know that someone is thinking of them, and it should make them a little happier over the festive period whilst the rest of us are burning turkeys and pulling crackers. I'm up for it. Should I win between the 1st and the 14th December then I'd happily donate my prize to them, as long as SR agree to it and send a console along too. Anyone else?

Just to let you know that SR will stay close to this.

Currently we are setting out the best way to handle it.

Thanks

I think the whole charity idea is a really good one. I try to give money to Unicef and other charities when I can, and giving games and consoles to hospitals for children is great, I only wish they'd done this when I was younger, hospitals are usually so boring when you're a kid.

I'm sorry to say I may change my mind on this, it costs me money to come on here so if i win a second time I may keep it.

I agree with the thing but I am skint.

Good for you Snipe. This is what I mean, you don't have to. And no-one should look down on you for not doing so.
