Our pick of six top UK charities, one from each of the causes that matter most: health, animals, disaster relief, housing, mental health, and later life.

Cancer Research UK
Registered Charity: 1089464
What they do
Funding scientists, doctors and nurses working to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
Where they focus
Lab research, clinical trials, prevention campaigns, and translating discoveries into NHS treatments.
Why it matters
The largest independent funder of cancer research in the world, and a backer of breakthroughs behind half of today's standard treatments.
Why we like them
It's the long game done well. Cancer Research UK funds the slow basic science most donors never see, and then helps it land in the hospital ward years later. We like backing patient money.

RSPCA
Registered Charity: 219099
What they do
Rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals across England and Wales.
Where they focus
Cruelty investigations, a 24/7 emergency line, and pushing welfare standards into law.
Why it matters
A cruelty call answered every minute of the day, and no other UK animal charity has that reach.
Why we like them
Two centuries of frontline work and they still answer the phone. Backing the RSPCA means funding the urgent rescue and the slow policy work in the same breath, and we love a charity that does both.

British Red Cross
Registered Charity: 220949
What they do
Responding to crises in the UK and overseas as part of the world's largest humanitarian network.
Where they focus
Floods and fires at home, earthquakes and conflict abroad, plus everyday emergencies on UK doorsteps.
Why it matters
A neutral, impartial presence on the ground in places few other agencies can reach.
Why we like them
The same blue-and-red emblem turns up after a house fire in Hull as after an earthquake half a world away. Very few charities work at both ends of that scale, and the everyday work back home is what we find most quietly impressive.

Shelter
Registered Charity: 263710
What they do
Helping people facing homelessness or bad housing, and campaigning to fix the UK's housing crisis at its roots.
Where they focus
A free housing helpline and webchat, legal casework, frontline advice services, and policy and campaigning.
Why it matters
Over 354,000 people in England are homeless or stuck in temporary accommodation tonight, and the law is on their side only if they know how to use it.
Why we like them
Shelter does the unglamorous legal work behind a tenancy that nobody else will. A free phone call can mean the difference between keeping your home and losing it, and that's a very direct thing to fund.

Mind
Registered Charity: 219830
What they do
Information, advice and local services for anyone in England and Wales experiencing a mental health problem.
Where they focus
Crisis support, an Infoline, peer support groups, campaigning, and a network of local Minds.
Why it matters
The UK's most-recognised mental health charity, often the first place people turn when they don't know where else to start.
Why we like them
Mind has done as much as anyone in this country to make it OK to say you're not OK. The information they put out is the kind we wish more charities took the time to write: clear, kind and based on what people actually need.

Age UK
Registered Charity: 1128267
What they do
Information, advice and practical support for older people across the UK and their families.
Where they focus
Pensions and benefits help, befriending services, fuel poverty, scams protection, and local activities.
Why it matters
The UK's biggest charity dedicated to older people, with services in nearly every community.
Why we like them
Age UK is the safety net so many older people quietly rely on, from a phone call to check in to help reading a letter. The work is broad and patient, and it's the kind of charity we'd want our own grandparents to have nearby.
