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, I drive a lovely Vauxhall Astra with low profile tyres.  2 weeks ago I hit the kerb, and my front left tyre has a small bulge on the side wall. (about half a squash ball in size).  I have been driving locally since hitting the kerb. Will it still be safe to drive on the motorway?...or do I need to replace the tyre immediately?...and if so where's best to go?
