I WOULD like to put M Perrigo right (No charity in these shops, Monday, April 12).

If they looked closer at the names of these shops, they would see that Derian House Children's Hospice is as it says, for sick children.

Donations are free to these charities to make money for the sick people they represent. A lot of people give voluntarily to work in these shops because they care. Without the support of these charities, many people would suffer even more. A thought for you - if you can't do a good turn, don't do a bad one.
