Description

There are over 195,289 registered charities in the UK spending about £80 billion of our money a year. Charities claim that almost ninety pence in every pound we give is spent on 'charitable activities'. But with many of our best-known charities, the real figure is less than fifty pence in every pound. But does Britain really need so many charities? And do our charities spend enough of our money on good causes? The Great Charity Scandal exposes the truth about Britain's massive charity industry and recommends how we need to change things so more of our money goes where we expect.

Author Biography:

David Craig spent most of his career working for some of the world's best and worst management consultancies. After writing two whistleblowing books, "Rip-Off" and "Plundering the Public Sector", about how consultants take millions from businesses and government departments while delivering little of value, he was blacklisted and so left the profession. Since then, he has written several books about government corruption, incompetence and waste, including "Squandered: How Gordon Brown is wasting over one trillion pounds of our money" and "Fleeced: How we've been betrayed by politicians, bureaucrats and bankers", both of which won the Hammond Whiteley journalism award. He is also the author of "The Great European Rip-Off", "Pillaged! How they're looting £413 million a day from your savings and pensions" and "Don't Buy IT! Tricks and Traps Salespeople Use and How to Beat Them" He blogs daily on his website www.snouts-in-the-trough.com His most recent book THE GREAT CHARITY SCANDAL exposes what really happens with the £80 billion a year we give to Britain's almost 200,000 charities
