[QUOTE="JamesA, post: 152648, member: 8989"] It's a question whether it's an efficient way of raising money, which I think it isn't. There's lots of people getting a cut along the way. Organisations sending letters are living in the past. These can just as easily go straight in the shredder(as mine used to) as an email can be deleted. It's just adding cost. Even if people like the lottery tickets and free christmas catalogue, I think they should still switch to getting the rest by email as this will save the charity money. It's the very fact I don't waste money on all the tat that I can afford to give them a sum each month. I'd like to be able to actually make donations to specfic research, but the admin might be difficult. I see a lot of it as a tax on being a diabetic. It all appeals to our (perfectly natural) selfish reasons to want to find a cure and better treatment. I say cut out the middleman-leeches and let us just donate directly to do this. [/QUOTE]
