NSPCC

I agree with what you're getting at but;

As far as i'm aware of the Charity doesn't get much -- if any funding from the Govermant -- It also pays for extra phones etc.. and to pay little donations to supporters. i think recently there was a Thing on Blue peter that you can send old mobiles in for a charity like this it could be even NSPCC? not sure.

anyhow.

the blue peter one was for child line which is 0800 number which is free phone

Yeah those are both good idea's (Modern. + Steven.)

I might look on their site when i'm bored (Won't be tonight), you say it'll benefit the charity though, and if it does that, to improove their services, then it isn't instantly benefiting the children.

But I can see what you mean about the lack of goods they have (like food, clothes, drinks).

Ahh, thank s for correcting me, there is so many of these Charitys around no wonder i get confused.

We rely on the support of the general public for 85 per cent of our funding - without your support we would have to close our services within six months

I got that from the site, so i guess the £2 a month might help keep the charity going?

Proberlly So. It would i guess needs to pay alot just to keep the site up and running, also for adverts, flyers, leaflets and Resources.

Probably.

Im sure the money goes towards helping the charity run, fight court cases against adults or whoever is in the wrong, pay for soliciters[sp?] etc. Also paying for the childs needs etc..

Meh, its supposedly to pay for staff costs, phonelines etc. But in realty it doesnt go that way. Most the money is just spent on advertisers the rest is on turning over 1000s of incompleate and useless reports to socal services wasteing there time and money that could actaly be used to help the people "/
Most the time they hand over a report thats useless and accidnly alert abusers of the problem just makeing it worse for them. Hence why the majorty of socal workers hate them so much "/

The NSPCC Helpline is a confidential and free service open 24 hours a day

The free helpline means that they have to pay for the calls. I don't think they have to pay for workers (I think its voluntray) but I'm not completley sure.
