Charity Tax Relief

After reading reports about the proposed changes for charity tax relief I do hope that the government will do a "u" turn if this proves to harm charitable funds.Charities are finding it hard enough in today's financial climate and my fear is this will make their situation worse.With all the council cuts of late more and more people in crisis will be turning to charities for help.In our own experience we had and still have support from a children's hospice which is almost fully funded by public donations and fund raising, I have always thought it short sighted of social services and councils to underestimate how much money these organisations do save them.It may turn out to be a good thing .. but my gut instinct thinks not for the charities ... I hope I`m wrong.
