Is any one else like myself in questioning the amounts that must be spent on advertising certain charities in the media?
I wonder how much of the amounts requested actually get to fund any famine relief, wild life protection or the supply of mosquito nets and medicines etc.?
I am happy to support worthy causes and charities but only if I can verify that any monies are used for the right purpose and not just to support administration which has all too often been the case.
Whilst I appreciate that there is a need for charities to make us aware of the work they do, in the present economic climate when we are all having to be carefull with the pennies let alone the pounds how do they justify peak time advertsing on television and full page adverts in the press?
