I imagine a majority of the money spent on Education and the NHS in this country is spent on wages. Doubtless a proportion of it is misspent but what’s the alternative...people do need paying.
Fair point, rA, with big institutional organisations who also have a charitable "wing" but if we look at the "independent" charity sector there is a significant dilution of donations via administration costs that sometimes appear excessive. For sure it needs to be done, it cannot all be done by benevolent supporters, but equally there is massive red tape associated with running a charity and not just the fundraising side of things
