With the 15% tax comment, I think this is relevant for venture capitalists only, e.g. private equity investors that buy failing companies and turn them around. They may also buy hedge funds etc and that is just one example. The tax break was because they were taking a huge personal risk (around 80% of these companies fail) and that they are 'helping' failing companies etc etc. It is getting reviewed though as the private equity investor is no longer just purchasing failing companies but putting large amounts of cash in to large successful companies in the name of development and restructuring, so the tax break is now perceived as unfair and not relevant given this.


I see that charities are run as Domitianus describes. They can be like any company with fees paid to investment managers and any other services that are appropriate. I think they obviously compare the cost of paying an external agency (and the subsequent higher annual donations) with the donations received when not employing the agency. Their goal is to get the highest amount of ?, so the chuggers must add value or they wouldn't exist.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
