Charity Commission
Intelligent Giving was criticised by the Charity Commission following the complaint it raised regarding Wooden Spoon. In a letter dated 13 November 2007, a Charity Commission representative disagreed with IG's financial analysis and stated, "The Commission does not concur with your view that the charity's costs were excessive, taking into account the method of fundraising which is employed by the Charity". This judgement subsequently attracted attention in The Sunday Telegraph, where it was given as an example of the Charity Commission's poor decision-making process.

It shows the strength of party ties.”
