Why are Virgin keeping more money than everyone else?

I know its a business and all that but taking money from a charity.

Anyone shed light into why?
Ignoring the Virgin puzzle for a minute, when you donate your £3 somebody is creaming off at least 33p. Who and why - that's the question. Obviously this scam is run by an 'agent'.
