Are You Sure Your Charitable Donations…

[naomi24]

…. are going where you expect them to go?

Director of Diversity and Inclusion wanted.

The salary offered £62,000 with a fully remote working option available.

And this from a charity pleading for help to feed the hungry.

naomi, it is a highly skilled job and that is within the proper salary.

[TrevorThePug]

It appears to be a very demanding job for an ok salary in London.

There are no doubt some charities who spend the money recklessly (or inappropriately anyway) and Joe Public isn't always aware (or able to find out).

Be vigilant and inquisitive is the answer I guess.

I'm just about to send a modest donation to Greenpeace having read how they have dumped tons of granite blocks down onto Dogger bank to stop EU trawlers from illegally (by EU's own laws!) trawling for fish there, whose stocks are already dangerously low.

There is a difference between being employed by a charity and doing charitable work.

[Prudie]

Job adverts always flower it up, that looks no more demanding and skilful than any usual middle management up post (and in my role I see job adverts/role requirements weekly). The difference being this one would be primarily paid by donations from the public.

Absolutely true barry. In order to get things done for people it is necessary to love the doing; it is not necessary to love the people.

“that looks no more demanding and skilful than any usual middle management up post“

Yes but with a middling salary.

[Old_Geezer]

Sounds more like a non-job to me.
Are they confessing that they presently discriminate inappropriately ?

[naomi24]

Who is suffering from failings in diversity and inclusion within this organisation? The staff? The recipients? I suspect this is just another example of the current fashion for ‘Woke’ in action. People donate as they will but I wouldn’t be happy for my money to go in this direction.

[allenlondon]

Not the point.

The point is to get all the other dogs of whoah out snarling at the charity sector, The Guardian, virtue-signallers, trendy lefties, all those opposed to Margaret (may her name be erased) Thatcher, etc.

Nowt to do with the charity or the salary, is it?

[naomi24]

^What on earth are you talking about?

[dave50]

If I a came into some money and wanted to donate, there is no way I would give to the big charities. I would investigate and give to the small local charities around my area, the unsung local heroes who do good work helping people in the community.

[naomi24]

Dave, I have been heavily involved with two major charities - and resigned from both for what I considered to be misappropriation of funds. I consider this to be the same. The majority of the time, effort and money I allocate to charity now goes towards supporting my local hospice.

[iluvmargie]

10:30 thanks for that Khandro, I will send a donation to them now as well.

[allenlondon]

“ What on earth are you talking about?”

(Made her cross. Again).

[naomi24]

Grow up, Allen. Since you can't answer my question I'll assume that you didn't know what you were talking about either.

[bednobs]

dont charitable donations to foodbank charities also go towards paying (eg) nailits wages so he can collect and deliver food? Are you against all people doing work for a charity being paid, is it this amount, or this particular job?

[HansUrbancka]

Barry....Have you noticed that the job involved is so demanding that the occupant can work from home. Furthermore, it has 28.000 volunteer workers who do the real work. A check on the internet will reveal that even office managers of the charity are volunteers.

Too many charities are ripping-off the public and paying their directors highly for very little effort.

Another interesting fact about a large number of charities, they pay titled people (Lords, Ladies, etc ) to be Patrons and have their names put onto the organisation's letter headed paper.

It's disgusting, especially when so called celebrities are paid to advertise for charities. :-
