most of these charities have a load in the bank, there was Tv prog years ago & it showed some of them had £60,000,000+ in their accounts.
they should pay out all the dosh to the needy and give the staff a few quid too.

Ask them. maximum charity shops choose volunteers, and save artwork isn't prohibited for little ones below college leaving age. See the link for information. There are 2 issues i'll work out. As you're volunteering you received't be plagued by way of the employment regulation limits on human beings below 18, so that you may pick to be careful what number hours you compromise to artwork (fantastically round checks). also, their coverage would state that there is a age decrease on volunteers. If neither of those are topics, i do not see why they doesn't settle for you.

The point of a charity is do give,help, and donate to those who are in need. Volunteers are big part of making sure that can be done. They give there time to the charity. That saves the charity funds and therefore adds to the amount of help the charity can give.

They think that because people do work as volunteers. They don't just employ someone and then say, oh and by the way we don't pay!
And you sort of answered the question yourself. Why would they have a charity then pay out thousands of pounds on wages?
Did you think this question through before you wrote it?

Charity shops do not think. People who operate charity shops think. It is not "there shops" but "their shops."
Now that we've got that out of the way, what do you suppose is the principal function of charity shops?
Do you think that function would be served better by paying workers or by using volunteers?

As they are part of a dying breed that don't only get out of bed for finacial gain and believe in giving back to society for nothing, either that or they are bored rigid watching the box and have a pension/bankroll that you and I would die for!!

I worked for Oxfam for 5 years. I enjoyed it, met lots of nice, politically responsible people. We are not all driven by money you know?
It is not all old ladies either. My shop was near a university and we used to get loads of students volenteering.

Community service, getting out of the house and meeting people etc etc. Voluntary work is great if you're unemployed, it gets you into a routine and is good work experience.

Because they know that elderly ladies don't like to hang about on street corners.

There are a lot of sad people with unfulfilled lives who think that they can buy a ticket to Heaven.
