I can’t imagine hating anyone who takes a critical or supportive view of children in need

I’m not a fan of using pain and poverty in this way. I realise the need to raise money for charities but it does feel exploitative

Perhaps read the BBC Children in Need FAQs.

Not sure if they’re scams, but I feel the format has run its course. I didn’t watch RND on tv, but I understand it was cringeworthy.

That’s your choice but actually I do t believe it is a scam, I always donate to both and at least 50% is spent in this country.

I do t mind supporting people who, by an accident of birth, are in places much less fortunate than us.

Each to their own flowers

OK, so you will probably hate me for this, but I think these two marathons are scams. Most of the money for these programmes go abroad and who knows how the money is spent. I will not donate to these, so much money goes in production costs and I totally disagree with money going out the country. I donate to charities in the UK but I distrust these two with their celebrities and high costs.
