The young people who sell 'charity' magazines outside Superdrug on Saturdays work for a business, not a charity.


The claim that profits go to somehow address knife crime issues is nonsense devised to pull at heart strings. If it were actually a charity they would be asking for Direct Debit sign-ups which would mean the organisation could predict its' income - like a real charity - but they don't because whoever is employing them wants cash. In return for a really poor magazine.


The kids doing the chugging are not to blame, they've been lied to, so be nice but do say "no".

do you have fact to support that? what is the business called? do you know they don't make charitable donations?

my teen was involved in a scheme like that - money went as payment to the sellers and initiatives to help teens - that was in Central.


I can ask what it was called but imagine it's the same type of thing

That they look like a charity but are in fact a business - I asked the group leader who told me that - and have read about these businesses before, after being ripped off by similar outfit up in central a few years ago.


Real charities are regulated, there are rules about where the money goes. I'm sure there are people, especially the kids, who are doing it for all the right reasons. But the point stands. They seem to be a charity but they're not.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
