Unregulated fundraising.
 

To start with;

They're not registered as the right type of organisation that can do street collecting, which they could register as but that would expose them to more responsibilities and liability.

They don't have permission from the property owners and aren't following any Fundraising Regulator guidelines.

I’ve got no idea are those criminal offences or civil offences? 
How can cic organisations do street collections? If that is what they are doing.
Shops do not own the full width of the pavement and therefore do not have rights over the full width of the pavement Southwark Council do of course

It's a criminal offense.

CICs can't fundraise on the street - they're a less regulated form of organization and that lighter touch means you can't do certain things until you commit to greater regulation.
 

If you want to fundraise on the street then you need to become a charity.

if they have mislead a shop by stating that they are a charity, they're breaking criminal law.

if they're on the pavement, again they are not licensed to do that and are breaking the law.

    • Hi Can anyone recommend a gardener to help lay turf and dig in a new flower bed in East Dulwich? thanks
    • It may be worth consulting your vet. If she's diabetic & on medication, she will have missed 1-2 doses. It's a relief to hear that she's home, & I hope she makes a speedy recovery.
    • The swimming lessons at JAGS Sportsclub are very popular, and the gym there might meet your needs. Southwark took over running its leisure centres from everyone active a while back and so far seems to be making a real mess of things. There’s lots of private gyms and other council ones in Lewisham and Lambeth so depending on exactly where you’re going to be you can look at those. JAGS and Dulwich College both have sports clubs with nice facilities, but you can’t use them during the school day. Check their sites for details. 
    • https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/26/cardiff-blackweir-festival-bute-park-dispute?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other Another example of a badly sited festival, and a council bending over for the cash. What amazes me is the similarity in every way to Gala - large areas annexed but the council trying to convince everyone it's only a tiny part of the park. Claiming that the flora & fauna is being protected when the reality is a tick-box environmental survey that's not worth the paper it's written on. All very depressing.
