    Don't donate international or even national. Those charities put people in administration on big salaries

    Donate local

    No matter if you live in a small parish you will still know of something local run by volunteers or you can chat to the people in charge

    It's better then contacting someone in a corporate HQ
    Like the Red Cross and their expensive and desirable office in Merrion Sq. I suppose a basic cheap office was not good enough for them

    Thy've probably been there since the year dot. The ICA have a lovely building across from the RDS, but it doesn't cost them a penny.

    The organisation might not make an actual profit but when you have a lad on over 100k a year (and most likely several other overpaid lads) they're not exactly slumming it in order to help the good cause.

    Are you just trolling in this thread? I have no problem with the chief of an organization the size of Barnardos earning ~100k. I hate chuggers, however, and I haven't looked into Barnardos enough to decide if I'd donate to them. The fact that you linked that dontwrong.me site makes me think you might be taking the piss. If not then you blew any credibility you had out of the water.

    That article is a load of bull**** alright, was looking for the censorship thing they were trying to get brought in there a while back. Have heard very little positive about them altogether
