Unlock, a charity who are on our side, understanding our problems and lobbying and fighting our corner.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The likes of Unlock aren't glamorous NGO's with huge budgets but they're our champions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As the ripples from the scandal continue, I hope it won't affect the 'little people'. Nobody claims charities are perfect but the less than perfect ones are outnumbered by those organisations doing precious work and shining a spotlight on something many wouldn't be aware of.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Carry on the good work Unlock.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;F</description><pubDate>Tue, 27 Feb 2018 10:48:23 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Frances</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
