Phone number links them to here:
http://bespokethirdsector.co.uk/what-we-do/ "To find out more about what we can do to find the ideal candidate for your organisation" .. which obviously boils down to "We'll stick an advert on gumtree looking for chuggers". Everyone's taking their bite of your donations, can't leave a lot. |

i agree though £10+ per hour seems crazy when you consider how few people they actually ever sign up. i virtually never see anybody talking to any of them, just walking past ignoring them. the amount of money left for the charities at the end must be a very tiny percentage. if charities must exist, then there must be a far better way to raise money than this. its obviously just the easy lazy way to do it.
and then they always say dont give homeless people money. well tbh id rather give a homeless guy a quid on the offchance he may may some food instead of special brew, than give my bank details to some annoying little **** with a clipboard and know 90% of the money wont even get near helping a homeless person. |

How do these charities help the homeless?
The only people that charities help are themselves. |

I don't know how much you get now, but in 2007 you got £12 for everyone you signed up to monthly payments for RSPCA selling it door to door.

Charities asking for monthly donations through your bank account makes my blood boil. Whatever happened to, we are happy to accept anything no matter how small.
I wish I could believe that it means more money can go towards the people who need it. |

I recall in east London in the 1980s that nuns used to come round the warehouses and factories with collection boxes.
One of them said to me and my mate 'Did you know that for every pound we get, we send 10p to Africa.' 'Is that right love?' I said. We had a rummage in our pockets and each gave her 90p. She nodded and said 'Thank you.' but she knew what we meant.  |

i find it very insulting when they zoom their radars in on me in the street.
theyre basically thinking "oh, he looks like a fooking mug" thats the thing, its not charity at all its daylight robbery of weak and vulnerable people. thankfully im not either, even if i look it. not a 1 in a billion chance id give em anything. but it must be frightening to some people. whether they get more money from this kind of "fundraising" or not, its blood money. the people they get money from, are exactly the type of people charity is supposed to help. elderly, weak, vulnerable or all three. its downright immoral. theyre no better than dodgy salesmen charging 10 times more to repair an old womans roof when theres feck all wrong with it. |

Was confronted by one last week in town. Basically jumped Infront of me and started asking questions.
I said I give to charity via text message donations which means more goes to the charity n Little squirt started giving me grief about not signing up so asked him politely to feck off as fast as possible as I was getting angry. |

Included in the job description - go home targets for the team
 So if you are good at fundraising for the homeless you get to go home early. Maybe that's why they don't employ the homeless to collect for the charity. No incentive. |
