A few months ago I watched an appeal by a world wide charity on TV.I was so moved that I made a donation on my phone, and got a thanks in reply.(My charity donations are mainly made by cheque to animal charities.)I have since been inundated by calls from the charity so many that I have asked them politely to take my numberoff their records, I will make donations if I choose but I think that to be pressurised into it is tantamount to begging.Rant over, abt.
My wife and I have several monthly direct debits for charities but, although I have researched them as much as possible, I don't really know if the money is being spent efficiently and ethically. I wish there was a national charity that we could donate to which would carry out the necessary investigations and then allocate the money to other charities appropriately.
