📢 News 📢 #CharityHour turns 10 years old (a decade) on 26 Feb 🎉 Thanks for support! Other news: we're wrapping up our chat due to Twitter/X changes & low engagement 😢 Join us Wednesdays 8-9pm - last one on 28 Feb. Hard decision for me (@TaheraMayat) 💔 ko-fi.com/charityhour

'But they have to eliminate Hamas'.
Do you think the British would have been justified in carpet bombing Belfast for three months, murdering 20k (mostly women & kids) & ethnically cleansing all the nationalists in order to eliminate the IRA?

There were 74. 74 complaints about digital fundraising for year. In what world is that high?

Door-to-door complaints decreased last year, as a ratio of complaints to contact. Less likely to receive a complaint.
Complaints about email, mail, events, lotteries and volunteers *increased*.
Corporate fundraisers received a complaint for every 92 asks.
Complaints about door-to-door fundraising rose by 110% last year, report finds civilsociety.co.uk/news/comp…
