Wrong that charity chiefs accept big wages
But what I fail to understand are those charities who award their executives extraordinary salaries, and those CEOs who are quite willing to accept them.
So, when I saw a sticker on a fund-raising event poster in Sough on behalf of Cancer Research UK, I did some research and found CRUK CEO collected nearly a quarter of a million pounds a year [not including bonuses and non-contributory pension advantages] and nine, yes nine, of his fellow directors get more than the Prime Minister!

Self-interested managers should not be allowed anywhere near charities as there is an obvious financial conflict in personal gain and those who are in very real need.
