Hi Derek, unlike those other suppliers, who survive on the profits they make on profits the RNIB makes a considerable amount from donations, contributions, bequests and the rest. Seemingly that's not enough for them, they want the profit the other suppliers get as well.

Hi everybody, I learnt something the other day that shocked me. It's
something that affects many of us. The RNIB as a charity is supposed to be a 

non profit organisation.
 When I was researching prices of a product recently I found it strange
that the RNIB charged the same as other suppliers. I took it up with a
friend at the RNIB, who confirmed to me that yes, they do make the same
profit as other suppliers, but given their status as a non profit
organisation they're not allowed to call it profit, so call it contribution. Given that any financial gain made on sale of something is profit whatever 

they choose to call it it comes down to the same thing.
 It would be interesting to know how officially they reconcile being a non
profit organisation with their operating as a profit making one, that profit 

being made from those people they profess to be helping.
                   John.
