Most Charities are funded mainly by the Government, but love to take all the credit, let all charities give credit where that happens

I met a lady from Red Cross last week. Some of the Volunteers actually pay for services they provide themselves. e.g. they run a phone call system. They contact people to check that they are OK - on their own home phones. Those who have uniforms pay for them themselves too. During WW11 my now late Mother together (with a lot of friends of hers) was in the voluntary Red Cross and assisted at several hospitals and convelescent homes. Some of the hospitals were short-staffed as some had gone overseas, either with the armed forces or as volunteers. They weren't allowed to give medication but assisted by bathing, feeding and in some cases changing bandages if they had first aid/ home nursing certificates. They paid for their own uniforms (and had to use their coupons), and had to have different things in addition. One thing was changed so they had to buy extra things so they matched.
