Charities accused of pursuing vulnerable for funds

Four charities are facing "serious allegations" of pursuing vulnerable people to make money, according to a Daily Mail investigation.

It claims the NSPCC, the British Red Cross, Oxfam and Macmillan Cancer Support are contacting people who have opted-out of receiving unsolicited calls.

Some of these people apparently include those suffering with dementia and memory problems.

The charities say they are taking the allegations seriously and investigating.
