| 23-1-2008 | A friend of mine, as a part of his job, would financially audit some of these more well known charities.
The amount of money that they have is disgusting to write the very least. Billions of Pounds and they never donate it as it should be donated.
They only skim the surface, some of the inter...more | Caroline K |
| 22-8-2007 | If you want to give, then give. Otherwise just say no. You don't need to make excuses, you don't need to say "I lost the envelope" or "I'm busy". That's just spineless passive aggressive behaviour.

| 12-6-2007 | So it's not just me who gets chased and tormented by these people then!
Those bouncy people in bright vests, clutching clip boards. Those fake smiles and bouncy walks, and those big "HI GUYS! have YOU got a few MINUTES to talk to me?!"
And then oh god, they FOLLOW YOU!
Aggh!

| 23-5-2007 | I'd love to see the look on the face of whoever it is that works for Christian Aid, that opens a red envelope full of washers that I left on my porch step. | Antichrist Superstore |

| 20-3-2007 | THIS YEAR DO NOT (YES DO NOT) GIVE TO CHRISTIAN AID - read on
Every year those red envelopes come along. I may put in a few pennies or two.
This year something has come to light!
Are they a charity?
Lots of people are questioning they way they are doing business.

| 13-6-2006 | People, before you give money to charity, think about on what that money will be spent. If you love animals don't give money to charities that fund animal torture in their labs. We don't need to torture other species to protect our own. In the name of decency it is time it STOPPED. | Animal lover |
