Thank you granpiper for the list. My DD tells me frequently that people set up charities. Pay themselves big salaries and then give a small percent to the charity. Good example are the charity balls etc.
I believe Children in Need have low over heads.
I belong to an international women's group and we buy things that charities ask for, e.g baby food, a washing machine and deliver it and the usual picture is taken of it in use. We might give money for a specific purpose, sterilising stray cats and dogs and we have paid for repairs to bathrooms in a children's home and we employed our own workers to do the work. (This is not in the UK). At least we try as much as possible to ensure the money raise is used properly.
Baby Reindeer - anyone watched it?
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
