It doesn't matter how much they spend as long as the amount it brings in from this 'marketing' is profitable.

The accounts of all charities are published on the Charity Commission website, so its easy to see what proportion of each charity's income is spent on fundraising and what proportion on charitable activity. I never give without looking at the accounts information - don't feel pressured into giving without doing your research.

it just seems abit unfair that if i give £1 to charity 40pence of that goes to admin or whatever!
