It would appear the Cilla Black Charity Fund that was set up in her memory, hasn't been a great success.

The public were asked to donate to Cilla's favourite charities and after four days the donations aren't exactly flooding in.

Why don't the likes of Paul McCartney or her sons make a big donation to get things up and running?

Given that cilla was a wealthy woman and had a few bob stashed away, why cant her sons just donate that to charity in her name instead of asking the public to donate in her name?

Cilla Black left around £11 million pounds in her will.

Her sons could donate a few million of that and still have plenty left over for themselves.

Possibly because he has already given support to these causes:

City of Hope
Comic Relief
Cruelty Free International
David Lynch Foundation
Dorset Wildlife Trust

That said, he still has squillions of quids and could easily afford to give more - as can most of the rich who traditionally give less as a percentage of their wealth than the poor.
