Letter: Who gets what from charity card sales
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: May I correct a misunderstanding in Charles Oulton's piece. The great majority of Cancer Research Campaign's Christmas cards are sold by direct mail order or through our 200-plus charity shops. The gross profit on these is 45 per cent. Some are sold through other outlets where the profit to the campaign is, of course, somewhat less.
Yours faithfully,
JACKIE McDOUGALL
