Save the children

[Floridatilly]

Is this a true charity ? No bosses gaining lots of profits?
The adverts are just heartbreaking, is this the best charity to help these poor children around the world?

Save the children is a genuine charity. Not sure if it's the best one as there are a few but they certainly do a great job

they are a registered charity, how chief exec salary is Ł160,000 pa... how do you put a price on it? no idea, but seems a lot to me

You can google how much goes to good causes and how much is "operating costs".

I donate locally as it all goes not like not charity's.

Mmm. Maybe Ł10k more than the Prime Minister.

The charity commission website should show you what percentage of donations go towards helping people and what percentage goes towards other things like staff wages.

[Guest]

89.6% goes to the programmes.

They employ over a 1000 people mainly in London, all earning in the top 25% of charity wages. (Whatever that is)

Charity has now become big business with so many earning excessive wages on the backs of people’s suffering.

I give to a smaller charity that runs a school in Uganda. I sponsor a little girl and pay for her schooling. I know one of the workers and send out gifts for her birthday and Christmas. She loved her Minnie Mouse back pack and Finding Dory pyjamas. I love that money is not going on marketing and big salaries. I am hoping to go and visit in the next few years.
