Charities seem to do this a lot. They take in money but don't pass it out to the peeps who need it most. Instead, they invest it in the hopes that the interest gained or increase in property values,later, will keep them going when/if donations dry up. It s the rainy day syndrome which we have all been brought up with. Save for the bad times. A more altruistic problem that some have is the "what if" problem. If they do give most of the money away and actually cure the problem,they have no reason to continue and their high paid jobs are ended.

I give,every month, to water aid because without clean water, well forget about it.  I give to the WWF,whom I dislike intently,to save tigers. I like tigers. My other donation goes to the Glasgow kids hospital.A smaller version of Great Ormond Street in London.  Without kids there is no future.

I hate the WWF and others like Oxfam etc.. because they are too big. There are too many high powered,highly paid,wankers supping at the trough

I consider Help for Heroes to be a group jumping on a money bandwagon. Troops, who get maimed, get better help than road traffic victims, who had no choice, whereas troops sign up and take the risks.
