Comic Relief a worthwhile cause or not?

Where does the money go to?
I really do think that by simply doing the easy thing and giving to Comic Relief just to ease your conscience is actually taking money away from the real charities that could use our help.

I always buy into all the Comic Relief and Children in need stuff as it’s just been the normal thing to do ever since I was a child. But where does the money go and could some companies help out more than they do?

| 01-12-2007 | I remember many many years ago trying to get help from children in need for a little funding to help to get a youth club up & running for the young people in the town that I used to live in. Alas to no avail. I also remember being told by some one that there was so much money left at the end of ...more | Boring old fart |
| 30-9-2007 | I think you are simply stupid. Our faith teaches us to alwayz help pur neighour, in any way possible, and what easier way than to give a pound or to out of the £340 average you make a week? And whoever left the comment about 'digusting human beings??' SHAME ON YOU> | sicktotheteeth |
| 14-7-2007 | why dont cr have open accounts for the public to see as its the publics money ? | lol |
| 08-5-2007 | Comic Relief and Children in Need are a waste of charity space. Why not concentrate on the more important beings in this world: animals! I hate that animal charities barely get a mention, yet we are encouraged to give money to digusting human beings. | I hate you |
| 02-4-2007 | Jimmy,
I do agree with your point in principle. Of course, giving direct is the best way as you know every penny is going where you want it to. My point really is that many people are unable to do so and therefore £1 to comic relief is better than giving nothing at all. I think we have to ac...more | Living on easy street |

I'm sorry that you cannot understand that you are in essence agreeing with the point I am making.
of COURSE giving DIRECTLY to charity, is much much more fullfilling, and I believe better than giving instead to a big corperate company, where...more | Jimmy Wyld |
| 16-3-2007 | My school does comic relief I think your right, all the money should go to comic relief people are just to greedy to give. A man came up to me this morning and ask me for 50p to get on the bus to get home. I said no sorry I don't have any money, knowing full well I had a 50p to spare. I felt so...more | chad |
| 12-3-2007 | As I said in my earlier post, I shall give to CR as I always do. I also think that if you can give direct then that is much better. When I was in Africa I befreinded a Head Teacher at a nursery school. I got to know him very well and upon leaving I gave him £100 toward the costs of running the ...more | Living on easy street |
| 12-3-2007 | I spent some time online trying to find financial data on comic relief and could not. Like most charities / fundraisers they are not forthcoming with where the money goes and how. I am always slightly suspicious of the big high-profile charity fund-raisers because this type of adverstising is so exp...more | trillian |
| 09-3-2007 | I do not normally give to Comic Relief, but this year a mates son is doing a sponsored silence for the cause so I am donating a few quid through him.
I do give readily to some charities that are ( or seem to be ) volunteer driven; or have helped someone close to me. The Lifeboats and Salvation Army...more | SteveK |
| 07-3-2007 | Go to Africa and you will see the good work that comic relief is doing. I'm nobody special, just your average Joe really, but what I've seen there is incredible. Go there and I guarantee it will change your life. It did mine. I think it is fashionable to bash charities like this and everybod...more | Living on Easy Street |
| 07-3-2007 | You can be certain, somebody is getting a BIG wallet out of this charity. I say charity should be run by VOLUNTEERS, not GREEDY Bast**ds. | edd |
