I have a few £'s but I wish to help my granddaughters on to the housing ladder if I am alive at that time.
What about right now?
There are many 10's of thousands that have no savings, are in receipt of the NMW they need financial help now.
As the government make available 0.7% of Gross Income, surely those with assets in their names and wages should contribute at the same level to those that are not so lucky?
As for me I pay out £40 a month towards two charities AND hand over the £200 Winter Fuel payment to the Salvation Army to help towards food and shelter for those that need it over the winter.
Don't be such a meanie give a bit here and there - say 0.7% of the value of income and assets - it will make you feel good.
