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 http://www.wipeyourtears.org.uk/ This Is why I never give to Charity. Last edited by arista; 20-12-2015 at 11:01 AM. |

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. That Goldberg Show is a podcast on radio 5 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06skyv5 its after 30mins of the first item Last edited by arista; 20-12-2015 at 11:33 AM. |

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.

..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...

Spoiler: 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 |
