Celebrities that endorse charities

I work at a drop in centre as a volunteer. What I wonder about is who pays for the admin people who organise things. Also my friend works for the Stroke Association as a secretary, who pays her wages? If these are charities how come they all have good salaries/ Can anyone answer my query?

then charitys would cease to exist.
im sick of seeing celebs seeking publicity from their association with the charity industry.
you can call me a cynic but I believe that if bob geldof had had a succesful pop career at the time of live aid in the 80s then he wouldnt have bothered with putting together that concert.
he has become a sir by his own egotistical publicity drive,(( something which he should never have accepted from a regime that is directly responsible for the slave trade, exploitation of 3rd world countries, and the british working class.)
anyone with any integrity would never stoop as low as to shake hands with presidents , prime ministers or royalty , all of which are the mafia in disguise along with the petrochemical industries and the freemasons.
funny how theres never a telethon for mental health charities, its always for kids or cancer, no celeb would go near something like MIND for instance,
wouldnt do their career any good being associated with nutters would it ?

I agree. Why don't celebrities just donate money like all the rest of us and leave it there.

Don't have to go on tv, preach on the radio and do a special report in the newspapers.

Celebrities just do it for the "Look at me aren't I good person" accolade. Just donate in your own time and leave it there.

Britain’s Got Talent finalists Escala marked the start of Red Cross Appeal Week on their social networking channels – including Twitter, Facebook and their website – reaching nearly 150,000 people. In the run up to the charity’s annual fundraising week, the glamorous string quartet encouraged supporters to fundraise as they toured the UK in a publicity tour. Escala have now visited Red Cross projects in London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Newcastle, as well as taking part in a first aid training course.

Sorry Freddy I meant Africa and Animals I have a problem with

Years ago I worked at a newly opened home for the elderly,the home was immaculate and everyone was really excited about which celebrity they could ask to come to the official opening,one celebrity they approached,who worked for Tyne Tees Television said she would be only to pleased to help such a worthy cause, her fee would be £800,needless to say her offer was politely turned down, this, to me, proves that a celebrity does nothing for nothing.
The home was officially opened by a local veteran soldier,who would,nt accept a penny..

Ok this is my gripe. It really annoys me why so many famous rich people keep going on about helping the poor and needy. They always expect us as the lesser paid to sort this problem out. For exmaple Bob Geldof is always asking for US to help and how its not right that these people have nothing. Then leads a very rich lifestyle, so if he is so concerned then give up most of your wealth Bob im sure the poor would be grateful. Before anyone says anything, yes I do give to my own charity of choice. I would be intrested to know if Sir Bob contributes the same % as I do. ?? Look at the Beckhams they could easily give away just about everything and still live a fantastic lifestyle. Greed is there defect. These people get lots of praise for there so called charity work. Put your money where your mouth is sir Bob show us dont ask us. One famous rich person that did give lots to charity is Chris Evans as he stated that he simply did not need that much so fair play to him. Greed is the issue here.

Dave Smith... You're comment basically reads ' No problem with Children but I have a problem with children' If you get my meaning. If you genuinely don't have a problem then why add the word 'but'?

I agree that Charities for the Disabled are not as fashionable as some of the celebs Charities. This is sad as any one of us could suffer a disablity at any time. Children Animals and Africa seem to be the hot ones.No problem with Children But....

I work for a non-profit agency that helps people with disabilities live fuller, more normal lives. I am very upset that there is not more support for the disabled communities. Also, many people do not realize that conditions such as asthma and arthritis are considered disabilities. After saying that, think about how many people that you know and love suffer from a disability without even realizing it. There should be more support for those with disabilities!

These celebrities that get upon stage for Save The Planet and the earwig and all these other money drawing ventures, are the biggest hypocrits on the planet.

Carbon footprint yet there's a good chance they own the biggest gas-guzzlers ever made.

When on ventures, their expenses can amount to more than what is actually donated to the charity, Mrs Blair knows all about this.
