Age Uk are a commercial business much like SAGA making money out of
older people whilst pretending to be charitable


Saga Group is a business company, not a registered charity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saga_Group

Though SAGA does operate (separately) several charities, all
registered and audited by the Charities Commission

Age UK IS a registered charity, number 1128267

So what? They are a corporate organisation. Don't you understand the
difference between a registered charity and being charitable?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_UK

and as such its charitable income, fundraising , expenditure and
activities are controlled by and audited to the Charities Commission.
You can check this at

Don't make me laugh.
The charities Commission is a complete waste of time.

Age UK take commission from companies in return for promoting their
goods or services to vulnerable older people.
