Age Uk are a commercial business much like SAGA making money out of

What makes you say that?
Experience
The Wikipedia entry describes Age UK as being
formed by a merger between Age Concern and Help The Aged, both
respected charities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_UK

That's what they would have you believe. But they are a business run
for the benefit of themselves as opposed to shareholders.

I think I understand you point Bert. Some charities are now so big that
they appear to us normal folk as a big business and are run on the same
lines, their charitable works seem to pale into insignificance to their
money making.

Remember this one?
