Re: Charities are a fraud
Indeed
Partner was a trustee of small charity for may years.
In that time partner took zero pay, expenses etc.
Partner eventually stopped being trustee for time and financial reasons after we moved location as travel to charity location and back took way too many hours and cost too much to be viable for a retired person.
Know plenty of other small charities that do good work on a shoestring and no big salaries e.g. animal sanctuaries where income goes straight on food, vets bills and maintenance / addition of animal "accommodation" e.g. stables etc. One animal charity I particularly like you get no pay as a volunteer but lots of excellent homemade cake to keep you sustained through hard outdoor work such as cleaning out stables
