Offering Free Technical help to Charity

[Churchill]

It seems to me that if the income raised is greater than the amount spent to raise it, this is a justified cost. Are you saying this is not the case?

Ok, yes it is. The point I'm making is that with quite a few charities the upper echelon make a very comfortable living.

Don't see a problem with that if they are effective.
What works, works.

Like the government really. A few people propped up by the downtrodden masses in the belief that somehow they are doing something good and worthy.

OK - well this about gives me a conclusion

The project stops here.

Thanks to all who posted & voted altruistically & constructively.
Thanks also to those who did'nt.
Special thanks to Churchill

The point of the thread was to see if such a thing could be done - maybe it still could - maybe i'm a Quitter.

But my conclusion is - Someones always gonna Cusade against it !

Shame really cos the (possibly 7 figure) sum that could have been saved was not just donation money - it was nett donation money after expenses !

Think of the difference it could have made

I finally cast my vote on the poll - Guess which one ?

I've asked the moderator to pull the thread because I don't want it being used to launch attacks on the aforementioned Charity !

Overall an interesting thread though

Be Good

Eh? There's 6 people who have offered their help plus the potential of another 12. Sure you have 9 "can't be arsed votes" but what else would you expect from an internet poll. There is only one person who has expressed a reason for not offering support and he has said why - he is entitled to that view and rather than having a go, if you have info that might disprove his doubts then share them.

Why delete the poll? You asked for our opinions and they were given.

Not really sure what you were expecting to get from this. All I can see is that you have a potential 18 resources offering help but have chosen to focus on the negative.

Pond - your quite right

Pond - your quite right

I was focussing on the Negative & lost sight of the fantastic indications of help.

It's just that when someone posts a blatant lie which I went on to disprove, said person instead of admitting they're wrong then comes back with another accusation which I don't have the resources to disprove.

I work at Oxfam & would like to continue to work at Oxfam - I stress this idea is completely unofficial.

I'll message the moderator and ask him "Not to delete this Thread"
