Oxfam Ireland are the most cost effective charity in the country. They pledge that 100% of all direct donations and at least 90% of all other money raised goes directly to aid works. Which considering that campaigning is part of their mandate is incredibly impressive.

They will freely admit that the whole chugger thing is annoying, but when they had a trial run of the scheme in Dublin they took over €1,000,000 in 9 months. After costs. Turning down that kind of money would have been irresponsible.
