    In this case, you could replace 'towards' with 'to'.
    "As cold as charity" sounds strange. I think of charity as being warm.

    Generally the difference between 'towards' and 'to' follow the definitions in a good dictionary. (Especially look up 'towards' which has a component of direction that 'to' does not always have)
    Sometimes either form can be used.
