Either the expense is ... or my computer ain't working properly...
Hang on a mo'. I think that's a bit presumptuous, unless of course you have authority? Charities are often business' acting on behalf of a charity. That is not to say the organisation is the needy lot. Whilst one may have difficulty fully understanding the way in which a charity operates, it does not mean they operate illegally or without need to staff the organisation running the business. Transparency is ideal but not all business' detail is on the balance sheet, and trusts are different again, so to assume will make an ass out of u and me so perhaps we give the likes of Rik Shera time to come back and help with the inquiries without hanging him high first eh?.

When you're tugging on peoples emotions and wallets, I tend to think complete clarity and full transparency is rather important.

That does sound a little less than committed to a prompt and comprehensive response you promised yesterday.

So please, carry on talking.
However the topic and conversation is hugely relevant for us and we thought it wouldn't hurt to add our view on things (and maybe smoke out a millionaire or two).
Go for it Michael. Up front seems to work over here.I think one message is getting through, that there is a desire for honesty. I don't think the issue is costs per se, but worthy of contribution without the cause being compromised in an unethical or abusive way. That the end does justify the means. Are you on Facebook? This seems to be popular, not that I look at it but "they" tell me I am strange. Anyhow shameless is good. (the programme on telly proves it :) best of luck on the millionaire front.

Perhaps the government could arrange for some support for the already existing, completely free, charitable resource website which does that, DonateNZ, link here, which allows people to find, support and donate to community organisations.
Anyway to attract donations we need to get our name, message and story out there and this can cost serious money.
Richard Aston have you met Claire Sawyers (page 2 upthread)
Perhaps there is room to not compete with the big charitable organisations. a different approach could be the answer. Change your model, try the net to get an honest message out there, ask the world for help maybe. Only suggestions :) -
post them here and I will answer them as best I can.
Do you lobby the government for these necessities? Why was it necessary to plug in politicians when as seen up thread, some take issue with the fact that we have poverty in this country, and at present some of our most vulnerable are having funding cuts. Was all sponsorship branding part of the final donations, and did they pay for the right of advertising? That'll do for now, thanks
