I have exactly the same concerns about many of the larger charities.
Many millions collected, but those for whom the money was collected,
see very little of the money.

That's true. If you believe the Daily Mail...

Meanwhile, here in the real world...

TBH, I don't care if say Cancer Research spend £10m on fundraising or
internal management or professional services. So long as that £10m brings
in £15m, it's been money well spent.

The problem with many smaller charities is that they AREN'T willing to
pay the going rate for something, so skimp and shoe-string, which at the
end of the day hurts their aims rather than benefits them.
