David Craig, on December 14th, 2015(Monday/Tuesday blog)
While writing my recent book THE GREAT CHARITY SCANDAL, I became convinced that many of Britain’s larger charities have sadly become job creation schemes for their bosses and bureaucrats. And many smaller ones are just frauds where the founders use their charity to fund their multi-millionaire lifestyles while doing little to nothing to help those they’re supposed to be helping.
But, here are a few supposed ‘charities’ you really should not waste your money on:
Cancer Research UK
This bunch of buffoons employs 2,553 people in administration and fundraising, but just 1,411 in ‘charitable activities’. Seems like a paradise for useless over-paid, over-pensioned bureaucrats.
Age UK
Looks like another heaven on earth for desk-jockeys and paper-pushers. Age UK raised around £174m, but had just £71m available for ‘charitable activities. I wonder where the other £103m went? Executives, managers and bureaucrats? Fancy offices? Generous expense accounts?
Sue Ryder
These self-serving clowns spent £47m on themselves, but just £37m on ‘charitable activities’. So, around £5.60 of every £10 raised went on the comfort and well-being of bosses, managers and bureaucrats.
British Heart Foundation
OK, you’ve probably guessed by now. Yup, a gloriously generous £172m on themselves, but just £114m on ‘charitable activities’.
Conclusion
I could go on with some of Britain’s best-known names. But it would just be more of the same. Most of the money disappearing into the bulging bank accounts of executives, managers and bureaucrats. While less than half the money we give goes anywhere near ‘good causes’.
If you want to give to charity, choose small local charities that only use volunteers. But avoid the self-serving, wasteful, over-bureaucratic ‘big beasts’ of Britain’s bloated charity industry.
And please, ask your contacts to go on to YouTube and view my latest short (3 mins) video – CHARITIES: CAN WE TRUST THEM?

British Heart Foundation shops are very pricey for donated goods. They often have someone with standing there with a tin to collect cash.My guess is that the promoters cynically calculated that people who had lost a loved one would donate stuff.Same goes for Cancer research.
Wonder if any of the best donated stuff is creamed off to antique outlets.
Anyone scene the ads for the Tinkerbell Trust. ” What would you give to save fairies. Just three pounds a month to save one. Just text -I believe in Fairies.”
Update on the :
Petition
Stop all immigration and close the UK borders until ISIS is defeated.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/107516
Government responded
The UK government has no intention of closing Britain’s borders, as this would create more problems than it would solve. The UK remains ‘open for business’ for legitimate travellers and trade. However, we continue to operate our borders securely and to enforce our immigration laws. This includes carrying out 100% checks on arriving passengers in order to identify any criminal, security and immigration concerns. Given recent events in Paris, Border Force has intensified checks on people, goods and vehicles entering the UK from the near continent and elsewhere, undertaking additional and targeted security checks against passengers and vehicles travelling to France via both maritime and rail ports and a number of airports across the country.

UK Muslim population of 26 million by 2051?
Consider the recent detailed study British Muslims in Numbers based on the 2011 census, undertaken by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB).

I’ve plugged your book to many David but I get the same sort of reply from most average white Christians, “if some of the money gets through to the deserving then it can’t be all bad”, or comments along those lines. I despair and I’m glad I’m nearer the end than the start.
Heart UK is another I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.
Heart UK advise us all to eat shredded wheat. Have you guessed their first sponsor yet?
Heart UK DEMANDS the government must provide the useless but expensive PSCK9 inhibitor drugs free to all and sundry. Guessed a couple more sponsors yet?
As for their general advice on what makes for a healthy heart, I wouldn’t offer it to my worst enemy.
Charities..
Nearly 300 allegedly spent just 10% on charitable activities in three years
And Lloyd’s Register Foundation used only 1% of money on such causes
Other accused charities include the British Heart Foundation and Age UK
They have been branded ‘utter disgrace’ following release of new report.
