Hi all,

as a former charity and not for profit sector employee I can vouch that 
there is a point where charity has very little to do with helping those in 
need and everything to do with tax concessions and keeping up appearances.
   For example Harrow Public School's rowing lake was built on charitable 
donations and was actually a selling point in their prospectus for a while.

Peace Jim
