Children in Need stashes sum away in investment portfolio | Daily Mail Online



I suppose that the interest will come in handy!  These charities do things the wrong way as far as I am concerned. Interest rates on loans are tiny at present. Charities should put their money away in high interest accounts and use it as collateral against loans.

then they can use the borrowed money to help folks while keeping the donated money earning interest. That interest can be used to make the payments and interest on the loans. Any future donations would easily make up for any shortfall.

In this way, they would have huge amounts for emergencies such as Tsunamis or earthquakes and still be assisting as normal. They would effectively double their money at very low cost.
