Le chiusure di beneficenza si alzano da tre quarti come costi di crisi vivente incolpate

Yep, cost of living crisis fucks everyone somewhat regular over.

Economies benefit massively from the middle class especially, since they have disposable income, but spend a large proportion of it in the regular economy.

But the middle class is shrinking and other classes (mostly both the working class and welfare class) are increasing, so the economy is currently fucked.

Is this important yes because some of these charities like Macmillan are providing financial support to people who need help that may prevent them, losing their homes etc and costing the state more.

However, this article bothers me, it’s the usual ‘scapegoats’ of COL, NI increases etc. Are Oxfam’s revenues and donations down because of COL or because of the recent scandals, involving their staff sexually exploiting people in developing countries. To name but one of the major charities in recent years that have been hit with scandals, whether that’s exploitation or, questions about how fiscally responsible they are.

the salaries of their chief execs and SLT teamshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEO_compensation_among_charities_in_the_United_Kingdom

Note: having worked in the sector, I know these salaries can be justified due to organisation scale and performance, sometimes highly specialist knowledge/experience but not all…

Offered a job for one of the disability/poverty charities who were, earlier this year screaming about inhumane levels of poverty, any PIPs cuts will cause whilst paying their staff less, than the figures they were claiming were inhumane! The hypocrisy was astounding…

If charities are employing people, paying them, and moaning about changes to zero hours contracts but their Chief Execs often (not all) justify their salaries and permanent contracts with, stuff about, competing with the private sector, we run a business, don’t moan about it when you are asked to act like one. Employees are not volunteers if you pay them, don;t treat them like it, when you treat yourselves like a private business.

Just a note: I think many more people are turning to local charities, where they can see the results, where charities are not unwieldy or top heavy with expenses. Changing habits, like donating to the food bank trolley, at the end of their weekly shop instead of pennies in boxes. I spent a short time temping at an Air Ambulance Charity, staff treated well and paid fairly, and the response when fundraising, was so much more positive.
