I know of one
major charity that is close to criminal in its property dealings and there are more than a few whose execs earn more than MPs.

I don't doubt it, I have seen some bloody stupid usage of funds in my time
But I tend to work with smaller charities and someone once told me off for it! Saying that its crazy that they should all get paid when I don't and I was being stupid, they all get paid crazy amounts, when i mentioned that my mum was the chair of the charity and it she takes no money at all from it he shut up.
I realise that the statement above was meant for the large charities, often the ones that can afford street canvassers, but there is a large percentage of charities out there that struggle to fund anything, they often have a budet that allows them to survive this year and then without fresh funding and help every year, simply don;t exist!

I actually run a charity!
So i know what you are saying. I do get paid; but I work 7 days a week and some evenings too. Even some nights if the alarms go off! For that I get just under 17k to live on. I live alone and have a mortgage. I wouldn't do another job for twice the money, don't get me wrong, but it makes my blood boil to see the execs of big charaties taking 100k a year home.
