Unfortunately it all does cost money Troll. Cabinets are several hundrerd pounds for the cheap ones - I don't how often musuems chuck away old ones, but at that price not often I imagine. Volunteer labour i.e. people's time, is indeed a resource, albeit a limited one, but there is always something to pay for, including guiding professional input, materials, hire of premises etc. For example, if you want to open up a school in the evening or at a weekend to glue bits of pot to a wall or whatever, someone has to pay the caretaker (sorry, premises manager) to open up and lock up.
Business lunches may be relatively expensive in comparison to your lunchbox (cream egg bars no doubt) but they are, ostensibly at least, done for a purpose: they are part of the wheels of commerce and are basically an investment, not money thrown away.
This is not to say it can't, or shouldn't, be done I hasten to add. Local societies and YAC groups are maybe good starting points.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
