Well, you know the answer,

Start your own charity for the wounded and buy only British products, including false limbs.

Whingeing like a child is not going to help.

Open your eyes, and have a look at the reasons why multi million pound building projects, and not the type of things needed for everyday living are being paid for by donations.............

I will assume that your deliberate attempt to avoid the subject of getting off your arse and doing some honest charitable work yourself, means that you are not the slightest bit interested in doing any hard work, but you just prefer the easy option of making unsubstantiated allegations from behind your firewall?

If you want to rail against organisations making enormous profits, you could start with the energy companies.

Are you frightened of them?

I would agree entirely about the energy companies, but as the robbery they are engaged in is supported 100% by the establishment, there is little anyone can do about it.

As to "honest" charitable work, it seems you dont quite understand how these businesses actually work? Deceiving those making donations is pivotal to cash flow, and should the true manner they operate become generally known, the cash flows would be drastically reduced.

I thought the Gardening Leave charity (www.gardeningleave.org/) was On
Topic for this newsgroup and actually seems very worthwhile but
unfortunately only up in the north at the moment. i would be happy to
volunteer time etc. to help if they started it up down here.

Any charity set up to help ex-servicemen has my vote anyway, having just
laid a wreath at the Northern Ireland Veterans Association annual
service at Alrewas nat. Arboretum last Saturday

Janet I have visited Alrewas quite a few times representing various ex
Service Associations I am involved with, and to me, the most "lump in the
throat" scene/site, is all the empty panels. Panels waiting for names to go
up.

And my Grandson has just joined the Royal Marine Band Service in the Corps
of Drums

Helping the US to get their hands on others mineral resources, is surely worth a few thousand dead UK service people though Mike?

I watched something on Beechgrove about a garden with raised beds for
people with spinal injuries. It looked to me as if the design could
be better. Narrower beds so that a person in a wheel chair can easily
reach plants the middle. Maybe something like using hanging baskets
would work too

And suitable for paraplegics but teraplegics might fall over! They could
really only reach stuff that they could get under with their wheelchairs
as they wouldn't be able to lean forward without falling over!
