Donating to the causes you care about not only benefits the charities themselves, but can be very rewarding for you too. Millions of people donate regularly to support causes they believe in, as well as for the positive effect it has on their own lives.
So why is donating to charity so rewarding? We've taken a closer look at five reasons to donate to your chosen charities.

Acting on these strong feelings of responsibility is a great way to reinforce your own personal values and feel that you are living in a way that is true to your own ethical beliefs.
