Some months back, I was a little cynical about the idea of a Covid vaccine being available before Christmas. I proposed a bet with a UKC regular who appears to currently be absent, that I would donate £100 to a charity of his choice if this happened. Suggesting 500,000 doses administered to the pubic in the U.K. as a suitable measure.

He didn't accept the bet, but I still feel I should honour it, as I believe 500,000 doses of the Pfizer had been administered before Christmas and I am happy to say that my wife received it this morning. The question is, who should I donate to?

It wasn't you. Do you have a suggestion?

One of the NHS charities or conversely any idea what they were vaguely interested in and choose a matching charity. Maybe mountain rescue for their favourite area?

There are various charities helping 3rd world countries with their covid situation. Maybe have a look at a few of those and choose one that seems to be doing stuff you agree with?

Buy Pfizer shares and hold them until the correct user claims them from you.

They can then donate to their charity of choice.

An excellent idea. I’ll make a donation, but also open to other suggestions.

In reply to The New NickB:

Nice one!

My wife and I have been making belts out of the sheath of old climbing rope, during lockdown. We’ve been giving them away in return for donations to either Mind or the Trussell Trust. 
 

If any would like one, please DM me.

Probably too remote, but I have something of a personal connection to this one...
