I suppose if riled I was it was the "entire family" bilge; brought visions of lots of little ragings running around doing good. My own view is that charities are primarily intended to provide employment for the children of the middle classes. I doubt they do any good at all for their supposed recipients. Other than providing well paid jobs it's all about salving the consciences of liberal middle class professionals.
