[Margaret Pilkington]

I already support three favourite charities....and when I am approached by these charity people I tell them that my charity purse is empty, but that I do donate cast off clothes to the BHF and the Hospice(I buy stuff from them too when I go in to donate).

I think in the current economic climate the charities are having a tough time....aren't we all? It is time for them to think about what they are paying to their CEO's and perhaps they should be giving some of their time rather than being paid for it.
