Everybody donates to charity…

Whether you know it or not, charities don’t pay tax, their operations are subsidised by you because even though they don’t pay tax they still have access to all services you would have as a tax payer. When charities receive Government grants and investments these are paid for by your taxes. Your taxes are already paying for the unemployed and homeless through benefit payments. In the UK today (2010) there are probably over 500,000 voluntary organisations but fewer than 180,000 of these are registered charities. So who do you give to...the national charities who have income in the millions or the local charities that can't afford to advertise and are dependant on local support only ? It's not an easy choice and it's not easy to say no when approached by collectors.

Teach a man to fish

The old maxim of teaching a man to fish has and always will be true. “Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.” Far too many people are reliant on charities, are we really helping them? Do we continue to feed or teach?

All charities have running costs

Most door to door collectors or charity workers will tell you all your money will go to charity… this is incorrect and misleading, all charities have administrative costs… some more than others. The bottom line is, not all your money will go to charity. E.g. The British Red Cross disclosed an income of £243,548,000 and spending £239,755,000 (Taken from The Charities Commission - May 2010). As you can see local charities are not in a position to promote themselves on this level. You can check other charities incomes and spending from this link: The Charities Commission

Anyway, it’s easy giving money

It’s easy to donate money to a charity, but have you ever considered giving your time to a charity. You’ll have a greater impact because you’ll probably volunteer somewhere local. Those local organizations don’t get nearly as many monetary donations as the national organizations because they don’t spend as much on publicity. You’ll also be serving the community in which you live in.


Finally

One final comment: I don’t think, giving or not giving to charity makes you a good or a bad person, it is a good thing to help others but you should not feel manipulated or pushed into making an ill informed decision. A person should only give to a charity if they truly feel it is the right thing to do with their money – if it doesn’t feel right, don’t donate.

When you do give... give for the right reasons, not just to promote your social standing amongst your peers or to be seen as a charitable person.

Please do look into the links on this blogsite before giving to charities... you may find you no longer want to give to charities that have no intention to benefit humanity.


Just as donating to charity does not make you a saint… not donating does not mean you’re a bad person either.

HIV = AIDS, Fact or Fraud?

Too many people are making too much money out of it, and money is much stronger than truth. One of the most powerful video documentaries of our time boldly reveals the modern medical-industrial complex’s dire descent into utter corruption. This feature-length expose explains exactly how the 300-Billion-dollar AID$ fraud began, why HIV can NOT be the cause of AIDS, what the real causes could be, and who manipulates the public’s good intentions while poisoning hundreds of thousands with toxic drugs that cause the very disease they are supposed to prevent.

This is a systematic dissection of the HIV/AID$ machine and how they hijacked a program designed to fight a worldwide plight of human suffering and drove it down the road to hell. Yet this program offers hope, inspired by the courage and articulate arguments of a group of growing voices internationally challenging the HIV=AIDS=DEATH hysteria. A MUST SEE for anyone interested in truly understanding the facts about HIV/AID$.
