The Giving Business. The second part of a special report by Martyn Lewis that examines the emerging mood of professionalism in Britain's charities. When we give money to charity, we don't like it being wasted on 'administration and overheads'. But is that really a sensible view? The Samaritans, the NSPCC and the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society (Sands) explain how they approach the delicate subject of charity overheads.

Dust and Ashes. The pilgrimage to Kumbh Mela every 12 years is the largest gathering of people in the world. In February 1989, 15 million people came to the holiest place in India where two great rivers meet. By the end, 38,000 people were reported missing and 252 never found their way home. A Hindu pontiff, a rupee billionaire pilgrim and a man who organised the great event talk about the experience of the decade when holy men, mystics and living saints gather to take a holy bath.
