I have just e-mailed Charles to say this Council does it all the time e.g.
individual members of staff may be running Marathons and sometimes the money
is being raised to help the local hospital. This is usually done by our
Publicity Officer with the consent of the individual concerned as obviously
they wish to raise as much as they can. We also have a Jeans for Genes Day
which raises money - if we want to take part we wear jeans that day and pay
£1 for the privilege which is then donated to the charity.
We are of the view that if you wish to donate to a particular event we will
- if not, we won't....end of story....or am I missing some underlying
