Product Description

Andrew Alexandar, Daily Mail, February 9, 2007

What we once thought of as an area of devotion and sacrifice has become very much big business these days. The average highest salary in the top 500 charities is apparently £83,000 a year!

Fifty-six of these chief executives earn over £100,000 a year, according to the admirable think-tank Civitas in its new booklet Who Cares? It is not too difficult to display devotion to good causes with rewards like that available.

Stephen Cook, Third Sector, 7 February, 2007

[Who Cares?] unpicks all the anomalies [within the Charity sector], concentrating in particular on the growth in the sector's state income, up from 10 per cent in the mid 1980s to 37 per cent or more today... Nick Seddon comes to the conclusion that the blurring of the divisions between state and third sector is damaging the independence of the sector as a whole, and that it's time for a new dispensation.

Pretty much what the title says: excellent quality, very useful book which arrived very promptly. If it helps me pass my MA assignment it will have more than paid for itself!
