Really Silas?

The vast majority of charity fundraisers are constantly having to ask total strangers to help out.

If you wanted to raise twenty grand, say, do you have ten thousand friends and acquaintances you could tap for a couple of quid each, or would you contact commercial organisations for a more realistic donation?

The very kind donors to the "Guide Cats for the Blind" project were not in the least put out by the fact that they had, mostly, never heard of Clive and Myself.
