Salaries of "CEO"s of major charities...
Save The Children 150k p.a.
British Red Cross 173k p.a.
Marie Stopes 420k p.a.
Here's a thought...next time you see an ad that says 'Donate just 1 pound and you could save a life' write to the charity and suggest that if the CEO gives up 25,000 pounds of his inflated salary he could save 25,000 lives.

I give to Smile Train when I can. They do operations on kids with hair lips in poor countries. So easy to make someone's life totally different.

Shared similar sentiments, so me and a few mates set our own charity up. Done a 730 mile cycle ride through europe this summer, raised around £50k so far and distribute it exactly where we want to and currently part of a project to get a dedicated male cancer unit launched at our local hospital

I have tried to change - really I have.
I want to be a better man - tougher, more capitalist and more rigorous in my application of Randian philosophy.
But I am just too kind hearted and generous. I can't change my fundamental goodness I guess..

The cash you put in the kitty of churches will e wasted and squandered.
You really think men who believe in preposterous magical stories from the Bronze Age are the right people to manage your money and help the poor?

The EU - although I'm not happy with the admin costs so have unchosen them. They'fe fucking slow at cancelling everything but couldn't wait to bite my hand off when I had some money for them.
My preference is now to bypass the charity administration and get money direct to the areas I'm concerned with.
I don't give directly to tramps on the street, but put cash in the kitty of the churches that provide night-shelters for the homeless. That enables those in the shelter to occasionally get something more than eggs chips & beans every night.

I don't give to charity at all.
I don't trust them.
They are run by people who would fail in a real job and lack the skills to prioritise, develop a strategy, budget and execute.
As a result most of the money donated is wasted or stolen, and that goes for pretty much every charity.
To take one example, that clown of a woman who ran Kids Company, the charity du jour of the bien pensant classes, was exposed as having squandered or embezzled the vast amounts of cash thrown at her.
She was, like most worthy charity types, considered beyond criticism, which is about as good a shield for embezzlement, fraud and incompetence as you could imagine.
My advice is to give nothing , not even to hospices that look after your family members.

I know someone who takes in RNIB bred Lab puppies and nurtures and walks them before they are assessed and moved on for training. Like most "walkers" she does this for nothing.
