[QUOTE="NIrelandGillian, post: 68354244, member: 297864"] I worked for a charity for a year which supposedly supported elderly people. We visited them in their homes and in nursing homes if that was where they were living provided lunch for them once a week in a hall somewhere, took them to hospital appointments, helped them with form filling, but all the person in charge was interested in was whether there was enough money lifted in door to door collections to pay the charity's phone bill. As well as us home visitation officers, she had people working for her as fund raisers and I think they were her favourite people. While they spent their time during the day working on fund raising, everyone had to give up evenings to do door to door collections and heaven help you if you didn't do it. It was embarrassing asking people for money when we couldn't guarantee that it would actually be used to help the elderly and if we only managed to collect a little, we would be asked, 'Is that all you could get?'!
