Good man yourself. Have to keep the roof watertight! 
Another problem with this idea, apart from the fact that someone else has decided to spend your money on something that does not benefit you, is that there are lots of worthy charities out there.
Why does one get favoured over the others?
Does everyone agree with the aims of the chosen charity, and how it's run?
If you had the choice, would you have chosen that one?
Perhaps you are already giving generously to charities.
Maybe you have a considerable debt burden.

Wind ur neck in boys it’s a tenner. I think you will manage ok without it.
It's not the tenner. It's the principle. I think I should choose who I give to.

Agree. And also wanna bet that the creamery will publish some big article about how generously thev gave to this charity and theyl look great for consumer relations but in reality they didnt giv squat

Exactly! By all means inform suppliers about the need in Yemen (or wherever) tell us about the charity doing work there, offer a suggestion as to how we can help. Don't just decide on our behalf that a £10er is going to be deducted from our milk cheque (a few days after not giving a milk price increase to said producers) without any prior notification.

How much of the tenner actually makes it to the cause after all other costs

The text gave you the nuclear option. Understood across the world and from 9months to 90.....no

Choice should always be to opt in rather than opt out. Text YES to donate.

There in lies the other debate about organ donation....

Interesting one. Different principle though. My body no longer belongs to me after I die, nor is it part of my estate. It's really a matter for the people who have custody of it. Opt in should still be the precedent though, but by all means ask the question of them.
You are wrong.
I have an eleven year old,a ten year old and a two year old and none of them understand the word “ no”.

My issue is the phone to which I would get those sort of texts is broken so I’ve not received notice.

So but for the wonder of TFF you would have been completely unaware until a £10er disappeared out of your milk cheque?!

I presume so.
Hope so.
Best way to get tight fisted dairy farmers to give more to charity is pay 35p a litre, I'd happily give an extra tenner to my chosen charity then.
