Ask the charity to sort it out for you. They will do.

If it's 'crossed' then it's only payable to you. You may be able to open a sterling account and cash it (if it's a big enough sum).

Maybe you should ask the sender to send you another one in dollars. Or send it to a Brit who can cash it and send you dollars.
