With most charity collectors getting paid a hefty "wage", where is the money really going? Which charities actually give all the money to the people they are collecting for?

That doesn't mean all charities are like this. For more than 20 years I raised money through my school for UNICEF where I could see that 95% of money raised gets to those children and mothers in need during World crises. UNICEF asks where you want the money to be spent, send you the results, provides annual report on its spending, accounting and the wages paid to just a small few who are required for clerical, legal and administration purposes. Almost everyone else is an unpaid volunteer.
