The government has a duty to fund the infrastructure of the charity sector which has been 'massively' underfunded in the past, according to the charities minister, Fiona Mactaggart.
She told the annual Charities Aid Foundation conference in London yesterday that was much easier to fundraise for a homeless person on the street or an uncared for child but much more difficult to raise money to pay for charity staff rooms or computers."
