Charity Investigations

Winifred Robinson asks if investigations by the Charity Commission into how charities use your money should be public. Plus helping people with a disability to get and keep a job.

How much do you know about the way charities use your money? If the Charity Commission has concerns about the way a charity is run, or is investigating its work, should the public routinely be told?

The government says it wants to help people with disabilities to find a job. It has published a new Disability Employment Strategy. Will it make a real difference in helping people to find work and stay in work? What support do employers need to encourage them to recruit more people with disabilities?

The latest on efforts to bring high speed broadband to rural parts of the UK. And the village where you don't need to choose between going to the pub - and going to the movies.
