Childrens Cancer Charity : Wipe Your Tears : every Pound only 25p for the Charity
 
Reported
on Goldberg Radio 5

Wipe Your Tears org
has a massive photo of a sick child
with no hair due to Cancer

The Charity uses
a Devon based racket
who take 75p of every pound You Give.
No place on the Photo or Bucket had the Evil info of 75p to a sub agency

This Is why I never give to Charity.

Wow, that's despicable. I expect some money from donations to go in admin but 75% is criminal.

it seems every charity is exposed for being a massive waste of money.

Its Legal
but they are meant to tell the donator



This is Typical of a Charity that does
help Children with Cancer
or Adults with Cancer.


Because the Devon Based
Racket Agency does all the work
of collecting the Money
With Massive Photos of a Child with Cancer.



That Goldberg Show is a podcast on radio 5

its after 30mins of the first item

There will be overheads but surely there has to be a minimum amount greater than 25%?
I agree greater transparency would give people the chance to see which charties ensure more of the money they donate goes direct to the cause.

the charity cards scam a few years ago, only 2 or 3 pence in the pound made it to the charity. I like to give direct to the organisation where possible.

Many of these charities are a disgrace.

..yeah, this is why I do research into charities first and give directly to them and not always in cash because there are so many other ways...

Kizzy 21-12-2015 10:53 AM



These are an excellent idea, as they show the monetary value of your donation.

I suspect the majority of 'charities' are about profit these days rather than actual charity. Its sad really

People do not have time
they just view the 20" x 16"
photo of a child with Cancer
and put a pound in or more

So 75pence of every pound does not go to the
Charity


Total Wrong

Well done Radio 5
