    Unfortunately, we live in an age wher people will do anything to seperate you from your cash. Either help people in need directly or make sure you research a charity before donating.

    Makes me sad because it was one of the things that helped my Dad during lockdown (even though he didn’t make it out the other side) and we donated like so many other people.

    The local authority granted permission for the single-storey structure to be built on the tennis courts at the Grade II-listed home, as first reported in The Sun.

    Jesus, it doesn’t sound like they lacked any money, and they still dipped into a charity for this.

      Unsure if they actually dipped into charity funds for the planning application or build costs but rather tried to use the charity name to hoodwink the planning office in the application.

      Don’t suppose it matters though, still shocking misuse of a charity.
