Should There be Limits on Charity Begging During the Holidays?

It is astonishing that trillions have been donated over decades yet people are still suffering all around the world (it's been proven that huge sums go into the pockets of many charity CEOs). I have compassion but ultimately, you can only help so many. I won't be guilt tripped into it. The incessant bombarding of guilt tripping adverts is tiring. Muting as soon as there's an ad break...

Yeah you get tired of seeing the same ads, the ones with water wells gets me, they've been showing these for donkeys years, yet still not enough wells, I stopped giving to charities because of what the CEOs get paid yearly, it's disgusting

It's not just the ads when I went shopping there was big issue sellers outside every shop I went too now that doesn't normally happen in my area one or two but not like it has been

I don't watch Live TV and when I use YouTube (Brave/ReVanced/SmartTubeNext) it always has an adblocker so I avoid ads.

But you're right about those ads. They'd annoy me, too.

Tf for ReVanced, I doubt if I'd use YouTube without it

I always mute them now or channel hop. It’s neverrending.

Don't forget the yearly xmas one from the salvation army

For me I just want the Charities to publish a breakdown of what the donated money is spent on and I think the fact none of them do that is enough proof that most of them are businesses at this point.

I don’t mind the adverts too much cause i can just mute the tv or leave the room. It’s the constant pestering on the high street and the phone calls that annoy me the most

I just tune them out. There are always loads of charity ads at this time of year. Christmas doesn't mean that charities stop needing money and unfortunately issues don't stop just because it's Christmas. I just change the channel.

I just give to.the causes I want,no guilt trip when I hear how the CEO is on an inflated wage,running around in a top of the range car!

Remember Johm Burkhill from Pride Of Britain,he's our local hero,hails from Sheffield ,out in all weathers raising money for Mcmillan Cancer Research...

John Burkhill,84 was out started in Chesterfield at 8am on Christmas Day & walked all the way to Sheffield with his green wig & pram...

We salute you SIR John Burkhill..

I'm assuming its not cheap to advertise a charity on ITV especially when its on all the time. That has to be paid for so surely a huge amount of donations are literally just paying for the ITV adverts before it can do any good on the actual causes. I like to give to animal charities but the RSPCA makes it very difficult to see how much they pay their top people by splitting it into lots of local RSPCA charities who then feed back some money to the main HQ of the RSPCA which is harder to see on their accounts.

I've ended up being very sceptical about the ethics of many charities. I don't like the fact the RSPCA has 9 pages of different RSPCA charities when it could be under one organisation. It's not difficult to see many charities are paying huge sums to their top people often many hundreds of thousands of pounds per year and this is funded by caring people often on low pay themselves who want to help these charities.

I only see charity adverts when away from home really as don't have a TV license but my mindset is if a charity advert is irritating and annoying I won't give to that charity mainly because I know they are paying huge sums for those TV adverts. I don't want to see those TV adverts and don't want to pay for them.

the ads have been about for years and years and still they have no water but probably have a flat screen tv
