The chosen charity for March 2017 is the TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA Association.
I don't know very much at all about this charity, nor the condition it supports, but an old friend of mine knows a sufferer of the condition.
TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA is an extremely severe facial pain that tends to come and go unpredictably in sudden shock-like attacks. The pain is normally triggered, for example by light touch, and is described as stabbing, shooting, excruciating or burning. It usually lasts for a few seconds but there can be many bursts of pain in quick succession.
It was only after I had made my donation that I also noticed that they are based in Oxted, where I live, so it is also a local charity too.
After my donation I received a lovely emailed thank you note from them.
