I’m all for charity and charitable causes and Gavin at Ireland SEO Marketing has tagged me in relation to ‘passing the juice’ for an ongoing charity link meme.

The rules are simple, copy the list of charities and links (grab it from whomever tags you) and add your 5 favourite charities or non-profit organizations to the end (link to their sites with anchor text of the causes they champion). Of course finish things off by tagging 5 other webmasters/bloggers and then publishing the post or the webpage.

So, here is my own list of five anyway which don’t also appear on Gavin’s list. I’ve chosen the five for personal reasons as well as the fact that they’re five great organisations in Ireland.

• Young Irish Film Makers – Centre Of Excellence for production of youth film, outreach media programmes
• Cancer.ie – Irish Cancer Society
• Irish Hospice Foundation – Hospice and palliative care in Ireland
• Barnardos – Ireland’s leading children’s charity
• RADE – Recovery Through Arts, Drama and Education

And here’s Gavin’s own list (and original list)…

• The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity – Polish Charity
• CPR For Schools Across Poland – CPR Training
• Program of Insulin Pumps in Diabetic Children Therapy – Insulin Pumps For Children
• Non-invasive Neonatal Breathing Support – Infant Flow
