When you mention the lifeboat in Southport I assume you are not talking about the RNLI? the Southport boat/Rib has no connection with the RNLI. The CEO Paul Bossier(some kind of ex RN admiral) of the RNLI has a salary of approx £160,000, +he also has a RN pension which I would imagine will be a few more quid than the basic state pension. No problem with the lads that crew the boats but the RNLI is the most over subscribed charity in the UK.

Cancer UK CEO has a salary of over £260k

I assist and help those at the roots, the back bone, those that do.

I have no monetary control but will always do what I can for the heroes.

Locally we were looking at fund raising for a hospital wing, we now ask what they require, source and pay for, then donate the requirement. No middlemen.

It is working here.

According to will Sir Harvey Kmar has an engineering degree and no medical qualifications.
Irrespective of that the point I was trying to make, it takes a hell of a lot of contributions t make £260k.

ah détente lewis, you are correct southport does have its own lifeboat station and as you have stated the pay remuneration is over the top

Children in need, no matter where in the world they may be there will be some company or other after our money to care for them.

Such situations have sporned a thousand companies all of the same ilk. They show pictures of poor deprived children in the hope of touching our heart strings so we will make a payment to them.
However by the time the salary for the CEO, staff and others is removed from the monies so generously given by the unsuspecting public there is often as little as 1 cent in the dollar left for these poor kids.
