JennyMorgan Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 They also have a Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/LoveTheBroads/ For what will be obvious reasons I have mixed feelings about it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatingman Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Peter I understand exactly what you mean That thought came to me when looking at the website Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ray, that's not to say that it doesn't do some good work but knowing something of the history & personalities involved I do have some misgivings. However that's for folks to decide for themselves, as I say, some good work has been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatingman Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 I agree that the projects they have supported are very good but it concerned me that around 50% of the donations they received went in Salary costs last year.. That to me seems far to high a percentage, people who support what is a very good idea to raise money for projects that are very worthy would expect the bulk of their donations to be put towards supporting them.

JennyMorgan Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ray, if you don't mind me asking, where did you pick that 50% salaries figure up from? As you probably realize there is a BA involvement! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
