Painless giving to good causes

Which charities do we give to? How do we decide and how much is enough?

The answers to these questions are entirely personal but have you heard of the One Percent Collective? ‘Collective’ is the operative word.

Multi-tasking usually means work, but not for Mangawhai dance teacher Mary Madden.
