I hate organised charities,
don't get me started on children's 'charities'
If I had my way I would ban all paid charity work.

Paul Theroux - Dark Star Safari tells you everything about Red Cross, pick up a copy Hedda.
Charity begins at home, I rather give money to help fund a local football team, at least we know the money goes, donate to Comic Relief go towards....?

Not CIN, but Comic Relief this time (same thing - "celebs" using charidees to promote themselves !) -
The BBC is to finally screen an investigation into claims that millions of pounds donated to Comic Relief were invested in tobacco and arms firms instead of going straight to charity.
The corporation said it would broadcast the Panorama documentary in the coming weeks after it was reportedly twice shelved by bosses.
The probe, which says £150million was invested for eight years before being handed to good causes, is potentially embarrassing for the BBC, which has close ties to Comic Relief.
