Yes, great system that employs more people than the banking industry,
that gets more work done per pound spent than most companies (due to
volunteers) and mostly tries to tackle the problems that society
leaves behind.
Education for the poor, help for the needy, even help for the
unemployed - started by charities.
They can do what government departments and government employees
cannot. If both the funding and the workforce is there.

Every so often a government takes over the work - though its more
commonly the other way round.

Oh, and yes anyone can work for a charity. The trick is to stick it
out and learn some skills.
Pay isn't bad, working conditions can be odd and no job is guaranteed.
