Itv tonight. Charity funding.
31. Mar 2011 at 19:40

Im watching this programme at the moment. Its all about how many charities face very hard times due to the fact that they face cuts in their govt. funding, apparently only 60% of charities money comes from public donations.
How does that work then ? To me they arent charities in that case, they are quasi public sector organisations.
Shocking imo. Shocked

Mar 2011 at 19:57 is this something to do with "gift aid" where the charity can claim back the 40% tax you paid on the money you donated to the charity? (If I donate 60p, that was actually £1 of my money less 40% income tax. The government gives the charity the 40p) Yorkshireman with scottish ancestry - big IF

That's old hat. And the number one is no longer a prime number. Keep up.

Missing the point again Banjax. They operate largely by being funded by taxpayers money recieved either from local councils, or central govt, therefore, they arent charities by any definition of the word Im familiar with.

'Tis a strange state of affairs. IMO, a lot of charities do the work that the government should be responsible for anyway. i.e. Hospices, Macmillan palliative care, etc.

Indeed you are right, they may get a grant but can still be a charity... Thumbs Up!

What concerns me with all these cuts is the fact that in my line of work, disabled children, a lot of services are provided by such charities. Any cut in funding could mean that some of these families may need more statutory support putting additional pressure on local government, where funding is also becoming tighter anyway.... Angry
