Presumably the people who work for charities need to eat and clothe themselves and also have gas bills and leccy bills and water bills and council tax and mortgages/rent like the rest of us. If they worked full time for the charities without pay how do you suggest they pay their bills? Or are you actually suggesting that charities should ask for unqualified volunteers to do the work in their spare time and possibly make a complete pigs breakfast of it?
