I'm sorry, Worz, but that is bollocks
I do various bits of voluntary stuff - not that much cos I'm too busy making shekels - and every single organisation I'm involved in only works because of ordinary people on low/middle incomes who give up their time because they want to do some good
I see this everywhere - debt advice service, youth work, marriage counselling
The attitude that no-one has time to try to help society unless they're rich is poisonous rubbish, sorry
