Well its not Charterhouse Public School. Registered Charity 312054 - Income £33.6 million - Expenditure £29.9 million.

Also helping the  Troika Laundromat clean up.

 

Including "Over the course of one summer, and three separate transactions, Charterhouse collected five years’ worth of boarding fees. The payments, totalling £300,000, were wired from a bank in Lithuania to the school’s account at Lloyds in Godalming, Surrey. The money did not, as might be expected, come from an account in the name of the boy’s parents. Instead, it was paid by an anonymously owned company registered in St Lucia called Meister Developers Ltd."

Disgusting. The dodgy 'gift' is one thing, establishments of that nature should be barred from being a charity anyway.

charity begins at home........... and stays there.

Not Comic Relief. I daren't donate to it for fear of being branded a racist or white saviour.

[spilldig 188]

None that involve money.

[woodview 10]

What heart warming answers.

[hauxwell 243]

The British Legion and St Luke’s Hospice.

[whiteowl 54]

Macmillan and British Heart foundation for personal reasons. Agree with the first couple of posts that public schools shouldn't be allowed charitable status.

[Kidorry 189]

Lifeboats and Cancer research for me.

It's interesting to play with the Charity  data.  http://beta.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/?q=Eton

 

The system is obviously being abused .

 

I searched 'Eton' and got 20 replies. Its amazing what qualifies as a charity.
