Break In At The Harbour Cancer Support Centre in Gosport

Numbers look fine to me for that type of work, and the actual "charity work" they carry out could not be considered to be only 1%. Its just a type of charity that gives out lots of face to face support :-)

Okay, we can all spend our money how we see fit. I know where my money won't be going.

That's how I look at it....the charity helps out a lot of people...I know some of these people personally so am totally aware of all the work that is done that doesn't show in their accounts.

Their priority is to find someone to approach people for grants to cover the admin costs, which they have successfully done in the past.

They need to change their fundraising methods if they want to make more money.

Exactly.

[moonwitch]

Exactly.

The charity has to make money....how would they be able to promote the centre without it?

I don't see what point you are making.

Then you should probably read again.

Then you should probably read again.

I already did...and researched the charity thoroughly before promoting it

Okay, if you say so.

[moonwitch]

Okay, if you say so.

The centre is a couple of hundred yards from where I live and I have seen the work they do...that is enough research for me to do to find out whether they are worth supporting or not.

A copy. Figures can be moved around and made to look however they would like. If it takes more then 99% of capital to run a charity organization they are doing something wrong or are just hiding income. Our politicians and big business here do it all the time. First thing I look at before giving to ANY charity is how much goes to the cause. When I see the CEOs driving around in Cadillacs or Mercedes well they won't be getting my money. Sorry can't get a good image but you can find it through the links.
