I don't mined ''some good ones'' like the animal shelters, health issues, child abuse, disabled, homeless, the UN and over seas nature trusts (save snow leopards, etc.) since they are genuine and help the animals, kids, cripples, tramps, sick, refugees, ect. The British Heart Foundation is good, but ruomours began swill about recently over executive pay. Note- Huge pay packets are a norm in the USA.
http://money.cnn.com/2013/10/10/news/nonprofit-ceo-pay/index.html The charities that pontificate about starving Africans\Palestinians are bias and political, since they ignored similar stories in places like Syria, Chechnya, Greece, Laos and Afghanistan. The former 'Cup Fund' was allegedly a tax avoidance scheme for rich Brits, who acutely made a profit by not being taxed beyond a charity level and taking corporate donations they stole. Cancer charities are pointless, we are losing the war on cancer any how!
The NSPCC is unique and not like the SSPCC, Dr Banados or others. They have used the resent child abuse crisis in the UK and Ireland to undermine there rivals, push in to goverment and start spouting off about everything all the way from the 2012 London Olympics to UK fiscal policy, and from social housing to British defense spending! It's gone crazy!
The Shaw Trust is just bizarre and unreal (I went there once)!...https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100916132746AA2BQ89.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
