I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue on less successful fundraising charities

Howard Lake | 22 July 2013 | Blogs

This week's episode of BBC Radio 4's comedy programme 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' included a round in which the panellists were invited to suggest "some obscure charities that hvae been less successful fundraisers".

The combined wit of Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Miles Jupp produced the following:

• Brown Nose Day
   
• The National Truss – "needs your support", added Cryer.
   
• Kelp for Heroes
   
• The Findus Donkey Sanctuary
   
• Children in Tweed
   
• Shave the Children
   
• Colonic Relief
   
• The Wake a Fish Foundation
   
• The Salivation Army
   
• Guide Dogs for the Blonde

So, that's what some of the finest UK comedians produced. Can you do better? Suggestions below please.

Meanwhile, you can listen to this episode of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue for another seven days.
