This Is why I never give to Charity.

[Livia]

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

[lostalex]

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

[arista]

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



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.

[Kizzy]

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.

[Northern Monkey]

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...

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

[Vicky.]

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
