Charity cold calling, Budget hotels, Home care

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Charities are to be brought to book for aggressive fund-raising tactics. New rules will protect people from excessive cold calling, but could the changes mean financial hardship for some smaller charities? The rise and rise of the budget hotel. The phone calls urging you to claim for your delayed flight... could another feeding frenzy from the claims companies be on its way? Our hunger for a return to Victorian values in the kitchen. The new technology helping to reduce aircraft noise. A review of home care says visits should last at least half an hour - but who will foot the bill for better care? Producer: Cecile Wright Presenter: Winifred Robinson.
