It's the same with most charities. They outsource a lot of fund raising
to third parties who may only return a few percent of the money raised
to the charity. I doubt if of little the money raised by street
chuggers, cold calling doorstep saleman or tin rattlers outside of
supermarkets/sheds goes to the charities they claim to represent.

If you want to give to charity, do so by standing order directly to
their account, and not in response to chuggers, who will often take
all of the first year's contribution as their fee.
