Is the Hanly Centre legit?

Classic Rock Man

350 a week for full time?

Can someone please give a rundown of this organization? I cant seem to find any substantial info on them anywhere.

"It is nothing short of criminal how the Hanly Centre functions," Judge Halpin told Tallaght District Court.
The judge claimed the Hanly Centre was the "worst-run charity I have every come across". "They have no checks and balances. There is no audits," Judge Halpin added.

I've personal experience of them pushing lottery cards on minors- scum of the earth is too good a term for them- avoid at all costs.

One of them ended up shouting at my kid sister for not buying a scratch card when she was 14. She shut up quickly when I rocked up and tore into her.

And no, yyou don't get 350 per week. You get one euro from each card you sell. I've had a few mates work for them.

Used to work there. Its bull****, you have to sell a certain amount of cards (or whatever they sell these days) before you get 350 :rolleyes:

My mate worked for them, left after 2 hours, said it was a joke. And as for the €350 +commission, that's pure sh*t.;)

Get onto the dole is my advice or find a real job.

Scam. The vast majority of the money they raise ends up in 'admin' costs ie the workers. Sickens me.

Sadly its a mugs game and stay clear, it was hard enough to cold sell or cold call in an attempt to sell something in the good days, in the current climate its near impossible and its a position thats bound to fail. Pity as its a good charity, just can't quite figure out why this and other reputable organisations resort to such agressive selling tatics.

I lasted one day working for them back when in 1997. To make €350 you would want to be selling mountains of scratchcards. I made £15 for the one day if I remember right.
