i have a list that i dont give too (i have my reasons too)
1 chidrens charities in general but i do give to hospices and cancer charities. the reason for this is that they tend to get the most money and other charities (ie animal ones) dont get a foot in.
2 Christian aid and anything to do with any foreign charity whatso ever. I found out that for every £1 they get 50p goes to costs such as wages(holdon should the workers work for nothing it is a charity) some heads of charities are actually earning over £100,000 a year (this is money that could have been given to the people who need it )then there is the cost of back handers to foreigners to take the charity money /clothes to where it is needed . In one case in particular clothes that was given by the public ended up been sold in shops . Not the where it was going to (this was a fact in a romanian chidrens charity wherenone of the clothes got to the orphans who it was going too) There has in many cases money gone missing or stolen by currupt politicans
3. church charities some of which the church should have been pulled down and rebuilt (as it would have cost less). whats the point of keeping a church open when no one uses it/. Some of these churches have been sold and converted into flats or houses and huge amounts have been made by the church as a whole. (one case the church and its hall was converted into flats and made over a million pounds,revenue for the owners ie methodist church.
I am always aware who my charity money is going too, and if i think its a bit iffy then they dont get a bean from me.
Not to say i have not been involved in charities as i have some years back we collected many thousands to make a wish foundation and hundreds to a hospice for kids in canvey island. we had a policy that a percentage of our takeing from our club (motorcycle club) would go to outr charity for that year.
