It's occurred to me that this whole sorry affair could put people off getting involved with fundraising or being a trustee for any charity.
Please, rather than backing off from any donation, commitment, charity role or trusteeship, just make sure that the cause you're interested in is open and straight in its dealings with the public, has no secret committees or agendas, that the books are open to examination (without having to pay and then wait until it's convenient for the 'committee'), and that there are clear objectives which are actively being pursued.
And don't let anyone bully you if you DO get involved!
