Age UK being Investigated

The Charity Age UK is being investigated for making money from it's links with an Energy Company.

I do so hope this is not true, so many elderly rely on advice from Age UK and they should be impartial.

I see nothing wrong in raising funds this way - doesn't mean its underhand
If they like a product why not promote it ...........

'Suspicion' yes - but I'll give them the benefit of doubt
They do very good work - very helpful
