Again I’m not in any way knocking you but it’s no different from raising money for any business when you’re getting paid. You have every right to get paid and I completely understand that it would fail if it doesn’t have paid staff but the staff are essentially salesmen.Totally different beast.
It's not about "making a business money". It's a not for profit organisation. It's about funding things which need to be funded otherwise they won't exist.
You seem to misunderstand the way charities work. Easily done if you've not worked in the sector, but assuming that just because people get paid, it's not "charitable" is incorrect.
Charities can't run on volunteers alone. We have a lot of volunteers who give up their time to support us, but it can't function with them alone.
You could argue that the volunteers aren't doing something "charitable" because they're getting something out of it.
Shop them to the charities commission and Fundraising Regulator. That's what they're there for.
