Vital 1st Team Regular
as someone who has had employment in the past which has worked with various charities (worked at sign companies fitting the shops and worked in a charity last year) i have seen first hand how they operate when money in concerned, and at one time there was something in the press which said about out of every pound only 5p makes it to the actual source.
then reading my bible this morning, i almost spat out my tea in anger and warn people.
Figures revealed that the highest paid charity boss included Justin Forsyth, a former Labour Party adviser who earns £163,000 as chief executive of Save the Children.
British Red Cross chief executive Sir Nick Young, a former City lawyer earned £184,000 last year, while Dame Barbara Stocking of Oxfam took home £119,560 before stepping down this year.
Six staff earn more than the Prime Minister’s £142,500 salary at the 14 charities which make up the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) – which brings together aid organisations to raise money quickly for the victims of natural disasters.
High earners do not need to be identified in its annual accounts, and the top salary of between £190,000 and £200,000 was given to an unnamed employee at the British Red Cross.
These charities rely on public funds, having received more than £1.1billion over the past three years from the Government, the United Nations and the EU.
There are 186 staff earning over £60,000 – a 16 per cent rise in three years, while the number on six-figure salaries has risen from 22 in 2010 to 30 last year. Comic Relief, which is separate from the DEC, pays its chief executive Kevil Cahill CBE a salary of £130,000 and has 21 members of staff on more than £60,000.

this at the same a ukip m.e.p is in the news about bongo land which basically is him warning about were charity and aid money from the taxpayer goes to.
A senior UKIP politician has been rebuked after telling activists that Britain should not be sending aid to ‘bongo bongo land’.
Godfrey Bloom, a UKIP member of the European Parliament, suggested foreigners used aid to ‘buy Ray-Ban sunglasses’ and ‘apartments in Paris’.
As a political storm grew over the remarks, he remained defiant, insisting he was standing up for 'ordinary people'.
But today UKIP chairman Steve Crowther said: 'We are asking Godfrey not to use this phrase again as it might be considered disparaging by members from other countries.
'However, foreign aid is an extremely important debate that needs wider discussion.'
Mr Bloom's remarks emerged in the week his party is due to publish its list of approved candidates for next year’s European elections – at which the party hopes to get the biggest share of the vote.
Asked what he would do if he was reprimanded, Mr Bloom told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'I'd say "Righto, sorry, sorry everybody".
'If I've offended anybody in bongo bongo land I shall write to the ambassador at the Court of St James's and apologise to him personally.'
