Charities love regular donors - generous individuals who set up a direct debit and give a small monthly gift to the charities they care about. The guarantee of a monthly gift enables charities to make commitments to projects in the knowledge that they will be getting support each and every month.

But knowing how much to give is difficult so here are a few monthly giving facts:

 
Average British - £8 out of £1,000
Average American - £32 out of £1,000
Committed UK givers - £50 out of £1000
Elton John - £230 out of £1000
Bill Gates - £800 out of £1000

Whether you're an average Brit or a software superstar, every penny counts, so just give as much as you can afford.

Here's a few more facts to help put a monthly gift into perspective:

 
A newspaper a day - £15 a month
Your morning cappuccino - £60 a month
Changing a child's life - £12 a month

Life's all about priorities isn't it?
