Is it just me, or are others fed up with the quantity of begging
adverts on TV? If I resonded to all of the, I reckon it would cost
me over 2K pounds a year. I do wonder how much it costs to make the
advert and screen it and fear that most of the doantion is wasted. I
have a couple of charities I support each year, and they don't spend
a penny on TV. What do others think?

most charities are just a money making fiddles and jobs for those who
run them...peanuts go to the needy .....

as a trustee for 3 charities, all of which are run by volunteers, I'd
disagree with you.


Can you name them - so I can add them mentally to my "not a scam" list?

He's talking about village hall charities and the like, which do tend to
be run by unpaid volunteers, barring the odd thieving scumbag.

That's one of them.
