Don't give to charity ........ unless.....

Don't give to charity ..... unless you know what they do with the money; unless you know their nature; unless you know how much is wasted on advertising and admin.

Naturally, I am not advocating that you give less - on the contrary - I am concerned that the word 'charity' is sufficient for many to have them reaching for a spare pound coin and in some cases to work for organisations whose agendas might horrify. Some are actually social menaces.

I refuse to give to leftwing groups, anti Christian groups and the politically correct.

That removes many from my giving list.

DO NOT ASSUME that because the headline aim appears to be a good one that its intentions are valid.
