REGISTERED BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH CHARITIES
We
don't dispute that there are thousands of decent people working for
charities out of the purist, most altruistic reasons. But at the top,
many are increasingly run by interchangable "identikit" "Charidee
Professionals" who would equally be happy co-ordinating Haringey
Council's Diversity Unit! The RSPCA, OXfam and Royal British Legion (to
name a few), although providing a valuable service to many, often
advertise in " The Guardian" newspaper for £100,000 + Chief Executives!
Only recently it became known that the lucky person at the head of the Cats Protection League
is earning £90,000 a year! Think of all those kind, well meaning (but
ignorant) volunteers staffing their shops who donate their time
completely free! Packages often include a fully expensed company car,
private health insurance and a performance related bonus etc... They
don't give a toss where the money comes from so long as they get a
large wedge of it themselves. We find it rather disgusting that a bonus
should ever be paid to charity workers in the first place. These large
charities are run as huge business concerns where six figure salaries
are the norm. For these reasons we stipulate that our work is only to
be used by small charities who do not employ fulltime staff.
PASSING OFF / PLAGIARISM
Upon personal application we will be
happy to provide you with a FREE copy of our work in uncompressed Microsoft Word format (Doc).
This will save you time re-typing data and enable you to paste our work
directly into parish newsletters, newspaper articles etc. This
includes any photograph from our large library of Kent War
Memorials. We are always eager to assist newspaper reporters and
editors with articles about the fallen men of Kent. Get in touch with
us, you might be surprised at the level of co-operation & help we
cheerfully provide you with.
