Charity watchdog

A charity watchdog is like a guard dog who helps to protect people from charities that are not honest. They help make sure that the charities are doing what they say they are doing and that the money donated is being used properly. They give information to people, like tips on how to check if a charity is trustworthy, what questions to ask, and what to look out for when donating to a charity. This helps people to make sure that the charities they donate to are ones they can trust.
