Agreed!
However, I'm re-evaluating which ones I favour. I am constantly
bombarded with requests so that I am becoming "charitied-out".
Furthermore, some of the major charities pay obscene salaries to their
CEOs and other senior staff.

fund but I'm seriously questioning whether to this year. It's a
bottomless pit.
