About Me

I set up this charity because, with most other charities, someone always seems to profit from donations. Someone has to pay for staff, marketing, TV adverts, leaflets and social media ads. Granted, these things do cost money, but that money doesn’t have to come from donations. We make a difference together by ensuring every penny goes where it is needed most.

There are a lot of charities out there that have been raising money for what seems like an eternity, which is good. Except, if after 30 years the basic issues remain unresolved, those charities might have a snag in their planning. 

We must appreciate the scale of this planet’s problems in this respect. But if after 30 years, people in Africa still don’t have mosquito nets, a basic hospital or running water for flip sake, don’t you think that’s a bit depressing? I do. 

-How We Work

Best Charity Ever is different. So much so, that I hope it will revolutionise the charity industry as a whole which might annoy a few people.  

Imagine this if you will. Let’s say that you want to donate £10 to help save the lions. And then we sent £10, in full, to help save those lions and that’s it. Well, that is what Best Charity Ever is going to do. I don’t make excuses like admin fees and marketing costs. That’s a load of crap. If I hand over £30 to a homeless man on the streets, I’m hardly going to ask for some change to cover my travel, or admin fees or some other rubbish, am I? Best Charity Ever doesn’t do that rubbish either and it never will. Making a difference together means transparency and honesty in our operations.

Every penny sent here goes straight to where it’s needed. I do not pay myself using these donations. If we need additional expertise to help with a cause or the website, we won’t pay for it. No one will ever profit from the donations sent to this website. Or through interest acquired through its bank account. 

I will cover all costs for running, maintaining, evolving, and marketing the site out of my own pocket. I cover all costs for running and evolving the site out of my own pocket. Any assistance we receive will be voluntary, and while we will credit those individuals on the website, they will not receive payment.

Sending all donations directly and fully to their intended causes accelerates the resolution of global problems.

-How Will Donations Work

You will have the option to donate as much or as little as you would like. You can donate to one cause or to several. That depends on you. The online calculator will work out the split of payments for you. If you want to send a specific amount to one cause, then you can input that in yourself. 

-But How Do I Know That My Donation Is Being Used In Full?

It’s worth noting at this point that I could give you this whole spiel about how your money will arrive 100% intact. But how do you know for certain? Well, unlike other charities, I will be uploading every single bank statement into the website. 

Anyone can see this, even without being a user. They will be able to see that what is in the bank account and what is being sent to help those in need will tally up. I am going to be 100% transparent about this. You will even see that any interest accrued will be put back into the causes. I will not be keeping or using a penny of it and nor will anyone else. This level of transparency is essential to making a difference together.

Once someone makes a donation of any size, that wonderful person will receive an email confirming their donation amount and where it is intended to go. Within that email, they will have a link where they can see their donations. The user will be prompted to create an account where all of the donations will be logged for future reference. 

24 hours after a donation is made and hits the bank account, the payment will show live on the website, along with all donations that have been made in total. The information on display will simply show the date of the donation, the amount donated and the reference number associated with that donation. No personal information will be on display. However, the user could log in to see more information about their donation(s).  

-What Happens After You Donate? 

Once there is a sizeable amount of money in the “pot”, we will send this bulk payment off. 

I will then email those individuals who made up that payment and let them know that I have sent their donation off. 

Once it has been used for those in need, I will then email those same wonderful people and explain to them who they have specifically helped. Including, what their donation has achieved in real time. 

So if we can save the lives of 4 starving children as well as the lives of 8 lions, I will email those involved and explain this. I will include the names and photos of these specific individuals. And I will break down where they were before the donation and where they are now. You will be able to see how we have genuinely improved their lives. 

From there I will invite those wonderful people who have donated, to set up a regular donation to keep up the good work. 

-Going Forward 

There might be some people out there who will disagree with the purpose of this site (you can’t please everyone). And we’re sure other charities out there won’t be too happy about this site either. But one thing that I have learnt in life is that if you keep doing the same thing, you’ll keep getting the same result. In this case, not getting anywhere far at all. It’s time to revolutionise the charity industry and save the planet once and for all. 

Currently, there are only a few areas which I am focusing on. That’s not because the causes which are missed are not important. They are. They all are. I intend to add more causes to this website, but the setup takes a minute. 

I do not want to be in a position where I plan to send money to a cause, only to find that once that payment is sent over, it will be used for other things other than what it is intended to. That would be a bit hypocritical of me, wouldn’t it? 

So I want to take time, making sure that whomever I do send money to, can be trusted to use it in full for the correct cause and not for profiting. And seen as there are lots of charities that do profit from donations, it will take time to find the good eggs out there. 

So if you want more places to send your donations, these will come, but please bear with me in the meantime. 

Viva la revolution!
