This may seem an insensitive post, and I should say from the off that it absolutely isn’t intended to be that way. I am *very* cautious (for good reasons which I can’t share without potentially outing myself) about giving money to any charity these days.
I know not everyone will share that view and I get that.
that said, at times like this when emotions are running high, people are very willing to give to a charity or cause that’s close to their hearts. It’s noble and it’s kind.
My comment here is nothing other than a gentle reminder that we’re in the middle of a cost of living crisis; many of you are parents with new uniforms to buy, or expensive summer holiday outings etc etc.
At the end of last financial year:
Tommys had unrestricted funds of > £7m
Sands had unrestricted funds of > £4m
Bliss had unrestricted funds of > £1m
Putting this out there as maybe someone may need to have a second thought on whether they want to donate, and it’s safe to say that none of the above are struggling.
Thanks.
