Had a letter today from Nick Moberly, who apparently is the new Chief Exec of the MS Society. Basically he wants £10 for research. I do contribute already and as a matter of interest I wondered what salary he was appointed on. I could not find out, but his predecessors salary and benefits amounted to £140K in 2017. He earned £200K in 2011 working for the NHS. I am sort of thinking that they can do without my £10. Surely his salary should be easy to find out? After all I am contributing. At the moment that is.

I stopped donating to children in need when I read if the huge amount they had in reserves.

My FiL donated to Macmillan for many years until at the age of 90 he was in need of pallative care. One visit from Macmillan was full of platitudes and the way they could help, they then dissapeared into the sunset and it was left to my wife with assistance from other agencies to look after him.

Needless to say my wife cancelled her monthly donation to this not so just cause.

I am a firm believer of supporting local charities that have smaller overheads and a larger majority of their donations goes directly to the cause they support. National charities are not supported by this household when in a lot of cases less than 10p in the £ from donations goes directly to the cause.
