Dianne Jeffrey ‘clear we haven’t done anything wrong’ despite criticism from MPs and campaigners about charity commercial arm’s energy deal
The chair of Age UK has refused to apologise for offering elderly people a controversial energy tariff with power firm E.ON and described it as an “outstanding deal”.
In the charity’s most significant comments since the scandal broke a week ago, a defiant Dianne Jeffrey defended Age UK’s commercial activities, which brought in more than £100m last year – more than double the donations it attracted.
