Indeed not but when I consider the RNIB and it does do work for blind people, then I can understand charity status but when I see educational establishments claiming charity status, even universities, then that worries me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "john coley" <johncoley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Eleanor, maybe then the charity comission should check them out. If they're doing nothing wrong they'd have nothing to worry about.John.----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 10:11 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: RNIBWell John look at all that have Charity status and I wonder at that.----- Original Message ----- From: "john coley" <johncoley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 10:01 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: RNIBSo you're saying that as long as they're not a public company with shareholders they can turn a profit, despite non profit status? That seems rather a contradiction in terms. That would be no different then than any non quoted company. They all plough their profits back into the business.John.----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl Proud" <karl@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 8:45 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: RNIBMaking money in one area of their business doesn't mean that they arebreaking any rules. It is their full financial position which gets them a not for profit status; in other words they have to plough the money backinto the business, not give it out as profits for shareholders.If you have a problem with the RNIB for doing this you are going to have thesame problem with all the rest of the non- profit sector.
