Am i the only one that mumbles 'fck off' to most charities on the TV? For example now we have 'children with cancer' (i mean how can you trump that to tug on the purses of the 'non needy') 'please help children with cancer during this pandemic' .. then go on to show lots of children with cancer etc just to tug on those heart strings a bit more. Why not just use Cancer research or Marie Curie? Oh no because that's not for those children?
What about all the charities for starving homeless abroad etc etc.. each one starts with the sad piano and then abused starving dying long stares into the camera.
They then go on to claim they have no assistance from the government, how they are charities ie non profit organisation.
Lets for example take a look at 'non profit' Just Giving and Captain Tom Moore.
JustGiving was not able to give a final total of how much it had kept from the donations to Captain Tom to pay for operating costs, as the amount donated is still rising, but a spokesperson said it was fair to assume it was around 1% of the total donations. If Captain Tom’s fundraising total reaches £30 million, as it seems likely to do, this means JustGiving will keep around £300,000
That's just one charity 'thread' on Just Giving.
'none profit' or charity still are allowed to pay their employees and directors a salary and expenses.. hmmm. Whilst i know they must make a living still, there is a conflict of interest here for shareholders and directors.
