Management of a leading children's charity, NCH Action for Children, who have accepted a donation of hundreds of thousands of pounds from Britain's biggest arms trading company, have been criticised by its own staff.

Workers at NCH are angry at the donation, to come from BAE Systems, since the charity has an ethical commitment to refuse funding from any donor that "promotes the sale of arms" reports The Guardian.

The charity's management overruled its ethics advisory group, which recommended refusing the donation.
