I understand your concern but it's a sad fact of life as the government tightens it's belt the poor or lesser able will feel the pinch more than some I watch Sky a lot and am shocked at the amount of charities appealing on there,Dogs,Donkeys,Leopards,children ect ,ect Some questions in my head are: How much do these adverts cost? How much is passed on to the actual bodies concerned? Last year PB raised approx £13,000 which went to charities the biggest being H 4 H We have two sales for unfortunate children one running now the next to follow Our last two were Anna Flaws and LMHA, Anna a nurse who has being rejected by her health board for a special treatment this is a lady who has helped sick people all her life I can assure all with concerns Pigeon Basics gift's 100% of income to the charity There are further concerns to be addressed in the future as to how much can be raised on the forum for Charities,Clubs, Fanciers.
