now hang on a miute - that isn't fair - they let in a few token poor kids on scholarships every so often - that is why they are charities
nothing to do with the tax advantages & helping to keep the fees down for the already rich parents - honestly it is all about the token poor kids who probably aren't all that poor but thier aspirational "mummy & daddy" only earn 40k instead of X00k p.a. - so that makes them poor in comparison to the genuin toffs paying full fees

No Dowie, you are wrong. Quite confident, I grant you. But, unfortunately, quite clueless as well.Dowie said:
A private school does *not* need to offer scholarships to qualify as a charity. The provision of education is a charitable cause, and so qualifies for charitable status. Have a read of the Charity Commissioners website. Or something.

Maybe she's just brilliant at negotiating then. Or lying
my previous employers include marie curie, macmillan, the law society, the refugee council etc.

Hang on a minute....do you have anything to back that up at all??
I'm sure that some of them - even a lot of them - could be accused of poor management but outright corruption? Are you sure??

big news:
charities have to spend money to make money
some of them pay their staff well
some of them offer TOIL instead of overtime (although the ones i know of offer TOIL for say a weekend of work on an event rather than a couple of hours here and there)
why the fuck are charities always having to defend what they spend and how they spend it to jumped up idiots who know sod all about anything and are just looking for another excuse to scream corruption??
i am personally sick of having to rise to shite like this thread where people's chronic misperceptions and misunderstandings of how charities work go into overdrive. as a sector we are working hard to alleviate all of these bullshit perceptions and are hoping to become more transparent and open in terms of the way we communicate to our supporters in terms of what we spend and how we raise it.
a new coalition called the impACT coalition has been launched by the IoF (institute of fundraising) and a huge number of charities to allay such crap as has been posted on this thread. read all about it here:

Ha Ha Ha.....How stupid do you think people are? Charities say they are all really nice and doing a good job shock.....
Parasite says anyone who argues must be really ignorant shock!!!!!!!!
What a load of wank.
What about the <snip>....What about the billions of £s wasted every year by shitty charities competing with each other?
Anyone who took anything that the NCVO had to say on the subject is clearly very guillible or very corrupt.

tosser. it is on the nvco website, not that it has much to do with them. it's an innitiative put together by the IoF but i'm guessing that's an organisation you know nothing about.
you really are a dickhead aren't you? and you're interested in learning nothing that doesn't back up the load of old twat you're already coming out with.
this thread is full of shit. end of.
