I'm all for philanthropy but I don't think its the governments job to spoon feed us into it.
Don't these ministers have anything more productive to do with their time?

It's called micromanaging, they are either incapable or unwilling to address the real issues so make a big deal out of fking about with nonsense.That comment board is really going
Unbelievable, the people really don't live in the real world, do they?
It's pretty easy for a group of millionaires to suggest donating a few pounds here and there but it's not always that easy for the rest of the population.
Being a government scheme, I'd imagine that there'd be so much blue tape and quango involvement that the charities would no doubt get a pathetic percentage of the donations by the time the government had taken their cut for running the scheme.

Why not make charitable giving tax deductible? Happens in some parts of the world and seems to work quite well
Can't you do that to a certain extent in the UK via Gift Aid?When I lived in Canada, I had an allowance on my tax return for charitable donation. So, as long as I got a receipt, charitable giving came from my gross income rather than net. Consequently I felt a lot more generous......
