Scotsman.com News - Latest News - Charity Commission Responds to Newspaper Allegations: "Charity Commission Responds to Newspaper Allegations

By Dan Webber, Community Newswire

The Charity Commission today responded to criticism that selected good causes around the country often �humiliated� the very people they aim to help.

In an article published today in a national newspaper, the mother of a severely disabled young boy claimed she had been made to feel �patronised, humiliated and exploited� when calling on charities for assistance.

Former English teacher Jane Muir, writing in the Society Guardian, criticised the methods used by many groups when allocating funding and called on the Charity Commission to issue new guidelines."
