Charities aren't exactly flavour of the month at the moment are they?!.
I read an article the other day about how much of the donations they get are not going where people think.
I was horrified to learn that (for example) the Surf Lifesaving Foundation spends 62% of donations on "administration".
Apparently this includes considerable sums on telemarketers employed to harass us.

It's a bit of a shame because I suppose it tars the genuine charities with the same brush and then they miss out because people have been alienated by the aggressive ones.
