[QUOTE="Bacchus, post: 211000, member: 4092"] as suggested in the opening post there are many worthy charities which need our support and are being hurt by these boutique charities and the way they operate , the Salvo's are the only major who we continue to support mainly because I can see the money at work with them handing out much needed care at the coalface in the way of soup kitchens ,emergency care etc and I may be wrong but I was under the impression that their collectors were voluntary , the other two are the Adelaide Childrens Hospital and our local CFS / CFA as I can donate directly to them. Sorry Golddigg but I am very sceptical of overseas charities and can not agree , I do not believe that 10 % of a donation making it through to the needy is acceptable and there has been too many circumstances where donated money has been syphoned by corrupt governments and diverted into funding wars especially in central Africa. Christmas especially is a time for benevolence but now more than ever you need to be sure the money gets to the right place imo. [/QUOTE]
