I have to be careful what I say here because I’m in a real arse of a mood with everything, (least of all Rachael to be fair
I find her setting up a CIC whether it’s to be locally based or wider a bit self centred. There are countless charities already fully functioning that people can donate to. Those charities already have in place intricate systems to make sure funds go to the areas where they are needed. These charities have rigorous tests to make sure money and services are placed in the right way. So thinking about Rachael and friends taking money that could go to the places that are already set up, well it just leaves me wondering what her motivation is.
I could fully understand her fundraising for other charities, even becoming an ambassador. But I can’t get my head around why anyone finds it necessary to set one up of their own, unless it’s to self serve their ego. Essentially what she will be doing is taking money that could go to women’s aid or Trevi house etc and using that to pay the overheads of her own CIC (like Jo’s pay or an office space etc,) and for the life of me, I can’t see how that is useful. Not now, when these already established places are consistently underfunded and under immense pressure. It just doesn’t make sense to me unless I put it in the context that she’s doing it to fulfil her own needs.
In theory what I’m saying is, that someone could donate £20 to Rachael to save one person, who is chosen at Rachaels discretion. However, that isn’t as useful as that £20 being split into £5’s and donated to four already established charities, where your money combines with other peoples to save countless people. I just think the whole thing is being set up to satisfy her and it’s irresponsible
