    What I meant was 70 million. Now that was a mistake that I feel you should get over.

    £70 million, £70 billion, both are wrong.

    Likewise, in fact it was one of the first hits when I searched. I was surprised how much there was, but also how it was earmarked for work.
    A charity can't rely on this year's donations to pay this year's bills or ongoing purchases.

    As for Chris Laurence (notice the spelling of his name), he retired from the role as veterinary directory of the Dogs Trust in 2011. Since then Paula Boyden has been fulfilling that role.

    My dealings with Dogs Trust go back about 8 years so yes maybe Mr Laurence has retired now. It still does not change the fact that the top people of this charity receive around 150-200,000 per year.

    Can you prove this or is it another case of you putting too many zeros in or telling lies?
  • Surely someone that (apparently) generates an income of £70,000,000 is worth £150,000?

    http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/find-charities/

    Since 2008 to 2012 Dog Trust income was 311,778,000
    They spend 271,309,000 so in those 5 years they had 40,469,000 left in the bank. Well Dogs Trust have been around for many many years and each year they had a substantial amount of money unused. So my estimate of 70 million is not really correct it must be much much more now. As I said my original figure goes back 8 years

    Yep, if it were true (which the OP hasn't proven) then it is quite a low salary for an executive of an organisation of that size.

    As I said my information goes back 8 years ago so who knows what their salaries are now?

    So you're admitting that you are basing your prejudice against Dogs Trust on information that is 8 years old and that you are unable to prove was even accurate in the first place.

    Please provide evidence that in 2005 executives of Dogs Trust were earning in excess of £150,000.
