mastershake Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 today i've had people knock on my door three times asking for money for the Woodland Trust - two blokes, one of them trying twice.Is this kind of fundraising legal - and even if it is, what the hell are they doing trying the same house three times in one day?

The Minkey Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Coming round 3 x in one day sounds more like they looking for a quite different opportunity.

Sue Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think it's unlikely in the extreme that the Woodland Trust would be sending out people to knock on doors.But you could always phone them to ask .....

ortuke Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I was suspicious so asked..."Thank you for your recent e-mail.I would like to advise you that we are in fact doing door-to-door mailings/sign-ups at present and the representatives that are marketing the service are from LOVEFiLM & genuine."

ianr Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 > "...and the representatives that are marketing the service are from LOVEFiLM & genuine."The Woodland Trust, OTOH, as a collector for charitable purposes, would require a licence from the police or an exemption order before they could lawfully make any door-to-door collection. http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Publications/cc20.aspx#e6 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17788-woodland-trust-door-to-door/#findComment-445069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
