I dont donate to any charity.
I worked for many years as a volunteer within the charity sector. In my case offering free psychotherapy to local communities. I did this for 10 years, three evenings every week, providing psychotherapy to those who could least afford it.
I do not financially donate to any charity because I have seen first hand the abuse that seems prevalent, of donations collected by charities being used to pay for corporate offices in central London and paying senior staff CEO wages.
Charity for me is using every penny that is collected via donations for the benefit of the people for whom the charity claims to support.
An recent example is of my 84 years old friend who lives in an Almshouse, The almshouses here in the UK are houses for the poor. You have to meet strict criteria to be deemed poor.
you are not considered a tenant or given a tenancy agreement so you have no legal protections. you are given a letter of occupation, sounds like something from world war 2.
A few years ago her home was taken over by another Almshouse charity. Upon taking over the Almshouse the CEO gave himself a congratulatory pay rise of £40,000 per annum on top of his already abscene annual salary.
