Donations to charity
When you make a donation to a charity, do you think much about what your money is used for, such as wages, running costs, advertising etc?
With smaller charities, the ones you rarely hear of, would you like an email every now and then telling you what has happened? macafee2 Last edited by macafee2; 13th May 2024 at 21:24.. |

A few years ago there was someone collecting outside a supermarket for a local animal charity. The suggested donation was £2 which is what I gave. In return they gave you a small badge attached to a card with some writing on.Among other things it said not less than 20% of the donation will reach the charity. I've never forgotten it.My recommendationwould be to send your donation direct.

That's why I say it's better to donate goods rather than money and take it to them direct.I think the case I mentioned above is shocking.How can someone rattling a tin swallow upto 80% of each donation.
