I’m really trying hard not to ask why he needs so many elastic bands

Yes - give it to a local cancer or heart charity, or a hospice, where it will do a lot more good for the people that need it.

I have a problem with those two charities coercing people into giving them their money under the guise that they're trying to find an end to it. Same with Diabetes UK. These charities have long track records of failure in what they claim to be doing.
Many CEOs of such charities take home 6 figure salaries.

That in itself is enough to put me right off them. Much better to find a local hospice or small charity and make a donation there.

The highest-paid charity CEO in the UK is currently Nick Moakes, the Chief Investment Officer at the Wellcome Trust, earning over £5 million a year. Previously, Steve Gray of Nuffield Health was the highest-paid, taking home around £935,000 in 2019. The Wellcome Trust is known for generous salaries, with 20 employees earning over £400,000 annually.

My ex wife runs the charity that we started when we were together, for people with autism and their families. Like all charities it only functions through donations…private and institutional such as lottery funding. The boxing event I did was towards it. Thanks again for you guys who are responsible for much of those donations

In the last 5 years or so funding from governmental sources, lottery etc has been reduced a lot because it’s been getting funnelled into fucking woke shite.

Support local - it will make a difference to someone who needs it 👍
 
It’s not just hi paid ceo
I used to travel through Liverpool airport weekly and at first I never noticed the people on the cancer charity stand
But after a while no matter which day or time I traveled it was the same 2 people
They were making a wage
That ain’t charity thats a business

There’s a reason the UK high streets have a big percentage of shops occupied by the big charities. Free stock (with estimated values for tax back from gov), mostly free staff, and reduced business rates. If people realised that 90+% of those donations went to fund the business of charity and not the purported purpose of it, I’m sure they’d find somewhere that would benefit more from it.
 
I try

I try to give only to those charities which publish their accounts, including staff and CEO pay and pension rights, and shows how much raised actually goes directly to the causes they support.
Apparently only about half of the biggest 100 charities actually publish this data. It should be a legal requirement.
Among those that do are the Salvation Army, the British Hearth Foundation, Sightsavers, the RNLI, Christian Aid, Oxfam, the NSPCC and Save the Children.
The key metric is the percentage of income that goes to good causes and how much is swallowed up by salaries, costs and admin. The Salvation Army for example pays its chief executive £155K a year (half that paid to the head of bankrupt Birmingham Council, it must be said) but 82% of all income goes directly to charitable causes.
I think I'm right in saying that only 26% of money raised needs to go directly to good causes for an organisation to qualify for charitable status. That seems a very low bar to me.
 


Net Zero madness: Quango chiefs who set aside £50m to dim Sun handed wallet-booming bonuses at taxpayers' expense​

Nearly £1million is being paid to four executives of a Government agency which has set aside £50million in funding in a bid to dim the sun, damning new figures have revealed.
 
I can`t help but wonder if this and other similar incidents that have or will happen are being orchestrated to allow a climbdown from the net zero pursuit as resistance is mounting and it may prove easier to move on to a new cash generating system ?

Possibly why Bair has been wheeled out to slam net-zero as unworkable. To provide the government with an off-ramp and sack Milliband. We can but hope.

I wonder did the news come through that the ship was going to be attacked, so she decided not to board?

More likely she wasn't going to go on it anyway and is being a drama (terrorist supporting) queen - how dare she :rolleyes:
