Charity salaries, Cost of cremations, Estate agency photo theft
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
You & Yours has found charities continuing to 'bury' details about how much they pay senior staff, despite being told to make pay scales more transparent. More than a year ago the National Council for Voluntary Organisations said donors should be able to find information about pay within "two clicks" of the main site. However many still only provide that information within lengthy Annual Reports. The cost of council cremations has risen by an average 35% since 2010. In part the increase is down to new rules surrounding air quality - but how should people avoid excessive bills after a loved one dies? Plus the woman who caught an estate agent using photos of her flat to market a trendy London apartment without her permission - or even her knowledge. Presented by Andrea Catherwood Produced by Natalie Donovan.
