With most charity collectors getting paid a hefty "wage", where is the money really going? Which charities actually give all the money to the people they are collecting for?

One of the biggest problems faced by charities is the raising of funds if they are not government supported.
If you only have volunteers collecting money for you then your supply of funds will almost certainly be limited, if on the other hand you have professional charity collectors the organisation would expect to have more funds available.
The big question is " Are charities really better off with the professional fund raisers."
I personally prefer to give to those charities that rely on volunteers but do all the funds either way go where they are supposed to go.
