Always people who will take advantage of the goodwill of others. There was a case on another site a few years back where someone claimed to be badly stuck at Christmas for presents for the kids after being very active on the site for a fair few months and forming 'bonds' with people. A lot of people donated money to them secretly, and the person disappeared immediately afterwards. Once it became known that it was a play (by accident), turns out the person had 'benefited' by close to 5k through peoples generosity !!Some of the people to which I distributed the stuff were better off than most people.
SVDP have a policy of never saying no if someone asks for help, so I never give them anything.SVDP is another example of one that does excellent work at that time of yea
My god, is this what the country has come to? I always thought SVP were one of the best to give to. What charities would you consider worthy?SVDP have a policy of never saying no if someone asks for help, so I never give them anything.
I have a problem with a charity that gives people's hard earned money out without any real consideration for whether the recipient actually needs it. That's what the government is for.My god, is this what the country has come to? I always thought SVP were one of the best to give to. What charities would you consider worthy?
10% of what I earn goes to social protection. That's about enough. I'm not a big fan of the Homeless Industry or the Charity Industry in general. I support the Merchant's Quay Project and a couple of overseas development Charities.Are there any charities you would recommend that don't do this?
They both do great work. Jack & Jill deliver services at 1/3 of the cost of the HSE.What about an organization like Jack & Jill or The Laura Lynn Hospice. Families with children who avail of services of these 2 organizations are often under financial pressure as often a parent has to give up work to care for a very poorly child & they have the financial burden of trips to the hospital & not being able to go home for long periods of time due to childrens’ lengthy stays in hospital.

No, that's complete rubbish. I have first hand experience.That is absolute rubbish. There is no policy - it's at the discretion of the volunteers visiting. Svp is an enormous charity that helps a significant amount of families and every penny donated to a local conference will be spent locally.
No, that's complete rubbish. I have first hand experience.
When someone is re-paying €900 a month on the €120,000 worth of cars in their driveway they should trade down before they look for charity.
