When people are struggling themselves as well hate that too
There are companies that share or rather sell information on people to charities as they can't seem to help themselves and sign up to donate to pretty much everything they are asked to, I believe they are known as suckers lists
Charity in itself is a great thing and does to an extent restore my faith in human nature that people are prepared to help those less fortunate than themselves and I also believe that those with the least are often more likely to donate a couple of quid so it's an even bigger part of their disposable money
However as you say targeting people who are themselves struggling seems pretty cynical especially as many of these charities have people at the top earning big money
There used to be a guy where I worked over 25 years ago who apparently had dozens of monthly charity subscriptions being paid by direct debit despite him always being skint and in debt, that's where I heard someone talk about him being on a suckers list as he'd get begging letters on a weekly basis
Oh and these fucking Chuggers
I used to think the pretty young smiley girl asking for you to sign up to XYZ was doing it as voluntary work and was a really nice person but apparently they get around £50 for every mug who signs up so for them it's a job
They still get the cash even if the person who signed up immediately cancels the DD so the charity actually lose money
