Good point above, unfortunately not everybody needed to get the job done is willing to donate their time/money/resources for free. However, that 32% does seem a pretty low percentage, almost as poor as oxfam.
This is the charity I donate to; http://www.merlin.org.uk/. Merlin are one of the few charities that stay on long after public interest has wandered off, which to me seems the most important factor in bringing about genuine change and improvements to quality of life. I guess in reality there's no telling which charities are there for the right reasons, short of actually donating our own lives to the cause all we can do is donate to the one with the cleanest face and hope.
And sorry Ginge, but can't resist this one;
Is that not pretty close to being a definition of what it is to climb on a bandwagon..? :think:
