World Vision springs to mind, a few years back the company I worked for refitted their new office with furniture. I think the total was 170k and what really took the P*ss was that the office block was fully furnished & they threw ever stick of furniture into skips. It seems that most charities are the same.

You should have reported them to the charities commission or tipped off the local paper


I've been inside the headquarters of an Irish charity, Concern. It was a bit of a tip to be honest.

Didn't think of it at the time, I was also amazed by 6 of the senior staff members buggering of to Africa for 3 weeks to see a well being put in for a village...........All paid for by 'your' £2 a month!

And World Vision is supposedly a Christian organisation.

I found out something else about them. In the UK and America all staff are required to sign a statement affirming their belief in Jesus Christ and background checks are often made with a candidate's pastor or priest.

Er, I thought religious discrimination was ILLEGAL in the UK? And yes, I do consider the above to be discrimination.

Default several times they have been out to me

and guess what ? all my animals were fine but my cat was over weight lol, when there was a woman around the corner who went to a rescue place brought a dog knew nothing of its back ground, didnt take it for walks or flea it and it started going bald etc and she still has the dog.
same goes for social services hundreds of kids out there being abused even by foster parents but they have taken 4 of my 6 children away because i a personality disorder which is controlled! i am on medication but they want me to have long term therapy, my kids were always at school always got fed always had clothes never got hit so why? when i did ask for help they didnt want to know so all these charities and organisations as far as im concerned can go to hell i prefer people say like elliotreed on here who is taking on unwanted hamsters cause she aint in it for the money, i always wanted to work for the rspca but when i found the 2 week old kittens i took them on my self and maybe got £10 for each one which never even covered half the vet bill but if rspca or cats protection had of had them christ knows what they would of charged
scammy con artists its all about money not for the real love of animals

I agree with this! Having been to our local S.S.P.C.A. centre on numerous occasions I can honestly sat their set up for reptiles is VERY inadequate! Mine's far from being perfect but much better than theirs! And theirs is being looked after by so called experts! And whenever we try to offer a little advice, it just seems to be ignored!
