On thing that worries me is the amount of times you see people on forums and Facebook who organise events or do personal things then say the money is going to a charity or a family in need that do not seem to be regulated.
People jump up and say "What a worthy cause" and hand over hard cash.
Some say that they hope to raise X amount of £'s but have you noticed that you never see any accounts from any of these events.
No breakdowns of costs and expenses - did the organisers use a portion to cover expenses, etc and more importantly at the end of it how much was given to the actual charity and the proof.
