It's OK, Help For Heroes skim millions off of the contributions anyway in the form of £4.2m (£9.2m for the group as a whole!) in wages, including pretty disgusting salaries for the senior management team made of of 12 people on over £60k, and one lucky person on between £90k and £100k!! It's good to know that your donations are going to good use :smiley:

Profits, which will be about 25p

I work for Help for Heroes... I have the privilege every day of seeing how the money raised supports our wounded injured and sick servicemen and women! Thank you to anyone who contributes even a little 'every little helps' :smiley:

"International influence"? Seriously, who exactly do we influence? We send jobs to the Far East, we buy in goods en masses from China, who also give us "investment" in the form of power stations that we will pay through the nose for, for the foreseeable future! We are the lapdog of the US, and we are so influencial in Europe that we can't even sneeze without permission..... Yeah, those billions have been put to great use :smiley:

The government taxes we pay should be used. Not charity.

Yes I agree, but most people would buy these and expect a lot more to be donated.

I've tried finding out how much but Tesco wont declare!

this isn't a deal. ?

I agree to, a little goes a long way x

I totally agree that the top salaries are horrendous. However it is run as a business and I would imagine in proportion to what they raise then this is a small %.
It's no different to pretty much every charity to be honest!
The work they do is magnificent though

Agree, but it goes further when greedy beggars skim a huge chunk off of the top.... and of course H4H are far from alone in doing this.

So what do we cut to fully fund this? neonatal care, mental health, military budgets.
I'm not saying you're wrong but the money must come from somewhere.

I don't know, around 16% on salaries seems a little high to me? Then again, RBL staff don't do too badly from donations either :wink:

One year of the 'Overseas aid budget' would cover all that for years :wink:

So less than a Million for the head people. I guess the other £3.2million is squandered in collections, fund raising, providing the charities services etc.
Same old stuff every charity thread. They still need to run as a business, which is never free.

Then at the same time our international influence and standing takes years to recover.

Bit early for Easter eggs.....we haven't even started Lent yet. And in the Orthodox churches Christmas isn't even over yet. But I admit the show starts with the first Cadburys Creme Egg advert so....

Heat added.

They don't NEED to run as a business, they could very easily appoint voluntary senior management (I know that we do!!!) :smiley:

FFS - it's a thread about an EASTER EGG!!!!

Errr.... re-read the title, its clearly not :smiley:

"FFS" we are allowed to discuss, look at any thread and people will make comment on the subject at hand, this place would be boring as hell if you had your way :smiley: There is no insulting and no arguing going off and there doesn't need to be either. It's called adult conversation, if you don't have anything constructive to say, just ignore the comments and move on, it really isn't that hard is it? :smiley:

They're happy to spend the money on defence and weapons, so maybe they should be happy to spend some of that money on the consequences of war.

Does it state the minimum donation? I myself would rather buy a cheaper egg of the same size and weight, for example a Cadbury egg that size would cost me around £1.50. Then the other £2.50 can you direct to the charity. All the rubbish in the comments about HFH skimming is a load of crap. All charities pay CEOs ect and have to spend money to earn money.

The way you ignored my comment and moved on...

Easter eggs aside, a fair number of my ex military colleagues hold a fairly dim view of H4H in general.

I didn't have to ignore your comment, I'm not the one moaning about people engaging in discussion. If that was your attempt at being clever, I suggest you try a little harder :smiley:

Try cutting foreign aid and giving to our hard working lads how sacrifice plenty for our safety. Fat cat directors of any 'charity' should be stopped!!

That's my easter egg sorted then, I already donate to this amazing charity!

In terms of % reaching the front line ( did you see what I did there )... H4H is one of the better ones.

Dirty terrorist charity

Does anyone know if these are suitable for nut allergy sufferers?
Thanks!

All wages and administration cost comes out of H4h trading. So that 82% of all other donation go to the troops. Any profit from the trading at the end of the year goes back to the charity. So self serficant. Try looking g at other charities that only donate 25% out of every £ to therent good cause.

SEE 100% GO'S TO THEM
