Does a "charity farm" make money?
Serious question!
Virtually all charities make money or they will soon be out of business, i have worked for and with many charities over the years and would say some are less charitable than others. By that i mean a lot of so called charities than run big events pay themselves very well cover all there costs with a small amount of the revenue trickling down to the named cause. Others work for nothing pay their staff minimum wage and struggle to keep going but do a lot of good. I would say somewhere in the middle of the two would be best

As I thought really, the obvious big names, RSPCA, RSPB, make a fortune and it strikes me the vast majority of that money goes towards financing their political agendas and affording a very comfortable living for those at the top...
Hmmm that gives me an idea.....

I've researched several ideas such as the following but what do you think would benefit the United Kingdom the most

(1) Residential Scheme For Disadvantages People - Working On A Farm To Be Funded And Set Up
(2) An Animal Sancutary Farm

Any other ideas are much appreciated

With Thanks,

there are some good mental health farms, look at helping people cope with depression/PTSD kind of issues. There is a scheme near us that is involved with getting old farmers out of retirement homes and down to farms for a day release type of thing to muck out/feed/potter about.

there is enough paper work/red tape to deal with as it is...for a charity farm god only knows,then the insurance,because im sure if somebody got injured,they probably wouldnt show much charity,
