Green DiaryCelebrity EndorsementJuly 30, 2010Filed under: Green Diary — @ 2:22 pm There seems to be a perception that celebrities, by their very presence enhance a charity’s reputation, but do they?

Burgeoning human populations with ever increasing economic expectations cannot be sustained. Read more: The elephant population in the room » Chugging and other fundraising complaintsFiled under: Green Diary — @ 12:00 pm I have written several times about ‘charity mugging’ or chugging as it is known — stopping people on the street and getting them to sign up. To me it is a dreadful way of gaining support, and although I have been severely criticised buy some of its supporters, I stand my ground, and would like [...] Read more: Chugging and other fundraising complaints » Aftermath of the elephantsJuly 7, 2010Filed under: Green Diary — Tags: Elephant Parade — @ 10:46 am The Elephant Parade organised in London by Elephant Family has been a huge success.

Read more: Fundraising Standards Board » Elephants on ParadeJune 18, 2010London has recently been invaded by a herd of over 250 Elephants (and the internet similarly invaded).

It is a fascinating and overall pretty good assessment of the situation.

For the first time ever we exhibited at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show – probably the most important of its kind in the World.
