We do not know what salaries Bill, his wife or the Officers are on and we have no idea of what percentage of our donation eventually reaches the person it was meant for."<br />Maybe you should have asked SOTS about your concerns instead of making it up, SOTS has never said it is a charity but has stated we are working towards being a charity once we have met the charity commisions criteria and was not started up on a whim. None of the staff are on wages they are all volunteer so all donations go to help ex service personnel. If you have anymore concerns please get in touch. <br />Marie Murray.<br />Soldiers Off The StreetMarie Murrayhttp://www.soldiersoffthestreetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597212839826054842.post-14797226517768386142009-12-20T21:31:22.034+00:002009-12-20T21:31:22.034+00:00Chameleon,
