Most Charities are funded mainly by the Government, but love to take all the credit, let all charities give credit where that happens

that is disgraceful Blossom, though i am sure there are many more stories like that. Unfortunately, because of those people, there is less for the genuine ones who need help. Maybe there needs to be a Do Not Give register of names of people who do this regularly.

There are so many causes i would love to give to as i believe they do great work but unfortunately i must be picky (and cant give too much either) and try to donate to the smaller ones who have less media coverage etc.

It does get me a little irate though, when big charities spend so much money on mail outs and extra little 'gifts' to try and get your donations - i'm sure the money could be better spent.

Many charities and Not-for-profit organisations do get funding but it is barely enough to keep running in their field. The ones i know and deal with (mental health NGO sector) do mention where they get their main funding from.

sorry this reply started as a response to Blossom but ended as a bit of everything
