To answer your question ia m the Director of a charity woking with youth and adult offenders and the victims of their behaviour. I currently employ 35 staff with the further support of 40 volunteers. 6 of our staff team are ex-offenders (4 of whom had extensive drug and alcohol issues in the past) 12 of the staff team are ex- victims of crime. Our volunteer pool has 13 workers who are ex drug users. Hope this answers your question.
I particularly like your use of the term 'these people'- what do you mean, British citizens? or has the fact that they have problems make them lesser beings than your good self.

How is the charity concerned funded ?
