Raising funds, making grants and organisational overheads cost real money. Despite these costs, Comic Relief is still able to promise that for every pound the charity gets directly from the public a pound goes to helping transform the lives of people living with poverty and social injustice. If Red Nose Day raises £50 million, Comic Relief will spend at least £50 million doing just that. It can make this promise because its operating budget is covered in cash or in kind from all types of supporters like corporate sponsors and donors, suppliers, generous individuals and government (including Gift Aid) as well as from investment income and interest."


The response to that is well surely those donations could be used for the actual work as well but I understand the point.

The fact is to do anything requires money and a lot of people can't afford to do it for free. Also giving money isn't the only thing you can do... giving time is a lot more effort but often needed.

Is it just me, or does Mrs Dom bear a partial resemblence to Jade Goody's mum.......... maybe it's just me.

No offence intended...... it's probably just the angle of the shot, I'm sure she's very pretty in real life....... and probably has the use of both arms.
