Seems like a good idea !

How much of the £10 you give will actually be used to buy seeds?
£1? £2?

And how are you going to get your £1 or £2 worth of seeds to the right
place any cheaper? Or are you saying that it's better not to give at all
just in case some of the money is not used as wisely as you hope.

I would love to be able to send seed directly to people but that is of
course inpractical.

There is a web (sorry, have lost the url) which summarises for all the
major charities the proportion of donations that go to administration
costs.
