95% on staff and 5% on admin costs?
Well, at least you're honest about how much actually ends up with the people who need it.

In fairness
... 95% goes to "support workers" i.e. the people at the sharp end actually delivery whatever it is the charity does.

I'm not a huge fan of chuggers, but they're not the worst of the worst either. Suggers are worse - "Selling Under the Guise of charity or market resaerch" - which is thankfully now illegal, though Phones4U veer a bit close to it too often for my liking.

But there's no need to be rude - a simple "No thanks" works for me. But then I do look like the missing Mitchell Brother and, with my street face on, give every impression of being best left alone. I'm soft as shite really, of course, but they don't know that...

As above has pointed out
I said support workers, that is the people who are either providing counciling for children who have experianced anything from sexual to drug abuse, care workers getting kids off the streets, nurses helping people with learning difficulties or disabilities, the staff to run a centre that helps diagnose epilepsy within a week (something that took 6 months for me to be diagnosed with) or support staff to help look after kids. the 5% is the admin staff, rental and accommidation.
