Re: Charity adverts and celebs
I posted something similar this time last year muddy, when im eating my tea , hearbreaking adverts of animals and children , i still find it upsetting , and like you know i cant save them or change anything . I have to look away and then i feel guilty for looking away .Re: Charity adverts and celebs
These ads make me sick ,I just mute or turn off ....theyre just playing into peoples affections with set up scenes made to look as harrowing as possible to glean the most . Its a cynical old world. I give to good places already and I like to know where my money and donations are going to do the best for people I want it to for .Re: Charity adverts and celebs
The charities I and my wife donate to are RNLI, British Heart foundation with money and various animal charity shops with unwanted goods (books etc)Re: Charity adverts and celebs
I only give to local charities who are mainly staffed with volunteers. As Julie1962 pointed out with the bigger charities it seems very little actually gets to the front line.Re: Charity adverts and celebs
I don't give to those Charities, we have a Dog Rescue and a mixed Animal Rescue here and we give to them. That way apart from supporting local, you know the money is going where it's suppose to and not being syphoned off by those in charge. The links are the two we give to.Re: Charity adverts and celebs
Totally agree with you Muddy. I'm afraid I mute them now.Re: Charity adverts and celebs
Funnily enough, just this morning I've made a donation to a LOCAL Donkey Sanctuary. I am very wary of the big national/international charities because, as Julie said, the money gets eaten up in admin. I feel with a smaller local one the money will go more to the actual animals.
