Kids Company scamming charity? Or just incompetent management?

I refuse to donate to charitys because nearly all of them are very shady with how stuff gets split up.

Try and find me someone who runs a charity who doesn't drive a brand new flash car.

This is something I actually have a bit of experience with.

Thing is you will find very few people with the experience, competence/track record and education to run a charity effectively who will do that out of the goodness of their hearts or for a below market value salary - hence the CE or MD, etc. tend to be very well paid but in theory that saves them all the issues and wastage (which can far exceed the amount paid to an experienced manager) of bad/inexperienced management. I've seen first hand what happens when you try to cheap out in that regard and it isn't pretty.

Also from experience I know just how much I wouldn't donate to many charities (i.e. where the money goes) :S there are some good ones though.
 
no I'm not sure why it would be of interest

feel free to engage in debate, you've still posted nothing to support the bribery/cash in brown envelopes nonsense

Of course there was absolutely no malicious stuff going on and every penny of that £3m or whatever it was was put to good use.


Obviously :rolleyes:

Reading the article, it is the investigation into abuse, not the funding that has ended, so presumably the investigation into where the money went and if it was misused is still ongoing.

[edit]
Am I the only one who actually read the article?
 
I have always thought that it went under because of financial issues, not the child abuse allegations.

Batman has just been on BBC arguing it was the child abuse stuff that brought it down and not the financial issue, oh really, i cant exactly recall but didn't the government give them a huge amount of money not long before they went bust?

She has just said the charity had enough money to run for another year, ok, so they went bust, where is that money then?

I hope the investigation digs something up because something isn't right.

Saw this too, pretty infuriating. Can't believe the interviewer didn't punch her in the face give her a tougher time.
 
Had a read of it. Pretty embarrassing for all concerned really! I think certain government ministers should be looking for alternative employment shortly...
 
How long before she stops dressing like a fruit salad? Surely she only wore that get up to deflect attention from her catastrophic management/shady business practices? Now it's all over for her, why continue to look like an explosion in a paint factory?
