She ought to have a word with John Bird the man who started the Big Issue! He has been through it all and I've heard him say "never give street beggers cash!" Because they usually spend it on booze or drugs - take them to a shop and buy them some food - many beggars would not like that! Or give them gift coupons as these can be used to buy food in some supermarkets.
So this Maundy set up seems very naive if they giving amounts like £30:00 to people who drop in. They should re-think their strategy - has anyone written to the Observer about this? Also start a petition if you feel so strong about it.
