And a huge amount goes on admin and, as has been reported, often gets wasted/mislaid etc. Personally (talking about charities in general here and not any charity to do with refugees or Calais specifically) I will only donate to charities that I know and trust either because I have worked with them or I know people who have and I am as sure as I can be that people's hard-earned money is going to the cause they intend it for. Of course, charities need to pay to get good people, they have admin and marketing and overhead and fundraising costs and need to keep a certain amount in reserve (look what happened to Kids' Company who didn't) as any kind of business does but there is a lot of badly used money in some of the large charities (and no doubt in some of the small ones too). |
