0:00.0	Hello, it's Ros Taylor here.
0:02.4	Today's edition of The Bunker is sponsored by Give Well, the non-profit organization that helps you make the most impact when you're giving to charity.
0:10.9	Lots of us give to charity, especially at this time of year, but even with the best intentions, you might wonder if your donations are being used as well as they could be.
0:22.1	The founders of Give Well were thinking the same back in 2007. When they asked for background on some of the charities they
0:27.7	were interested in, all they got back was feel good stories and pictures, very little concrete
0:33.0	information. So they created Give Well, a unique resource that pours over independent studies and
0:39.3	charity data to help you direct your donations to organisations that are making a real difference.
0:45.7	That means they've been able to find low-cost but high-impact things you can support,
0:50.5	like simple $2 vitamin A supplements that decrease infant mortality, or $7 malaria shots for children,

1:21.0	decisions about high impact giving. You can find all of their research and recommendations on their
1:26.8	site for free.
1:28.7	To find out more or make a donation, go to givewell.org slash UK.
1:33.4	You can make tax deductible donations to their recommended funds or charities, and Givewell
1:39.1	doesn't take a cut. Givewell UK can claim gift aid for eligible donations too. That's givewell.org
1:47.0	to donate or find out more. This is an ad from BetterHelp. This holiday season, do something
1:54.6	for a special person in your life. You give yourself the gift of better mental health. Better
2:00.4	Help online therapy connects you with a qualified therapist via phone, video or live chat.
2:05.6	It's convenient and affordable and can be done from the comfort of your own home.
2:09.6	Having someone to talk to is truly a gift, especially during the holidays.
