My family and I support several charities but my son, who is in a well paid paid job, has just about had enough of one particular one:
About a year ago he was left £100 by his Grandmother. He decided to donate it to her favourite charity as he felt that she would have liked that. Anyway, he has since been hounded by that charity both by phone and post, and it now appears that his details have been passed on to other charities who keep pestering him with raffle tickets and appeals for money. I think that this sort of thing is unaceptable as we already have a number of chosen charities.
I also take exception to what I feel is Moral Blackmail where the apeal seems to insinuate that unless I donate then some child/animal/ etc may die.
If I were to respond to every £2 or £3 a month apeal, I would soon be in need of charity myself. I repeat, we already support a number of charities, but would welcome the space to make our own decisions as to who we wish to support.
