Right ! Be warned ! I'm going to have a moan !
On my way to a meeting this morning and walking through the city i got physically stopped by five people !
All collecting for their different charities !
They weren't just stood there rattling tins. They ALL physically stood in front of me and asked for donations. And 'Did i know i can now leave a gift in my will ?' Or "You can become a regular gift-giver ! Please give me your bank account details...."
One or two you just shrug off and walk on. But i think this 'aggressive begging' is becoming more and more like an epidemic. And it's not right !
I'm sure i've mentioned before that at the start of the 2000's there were some 620 different registered charities dealing with the Cancer issue alone !
And just as an example, Cancer Research UK actually [b]spent[/b] 413 [b]Million Pounds[/b] last year !

It's estimated that voluntary funding supports 40% of [b]ALL[/b] medical research in the UK.
And that can't be right.
