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.

    • In a veggie and went a few weeks ago and there was a lot to offer and super tasty - enjoy 🙂
    • You may have more success posting on ED facebook….personally, not a fan  of social media but where I have moved to in the country, this seems to be the main way  of communication. A suggestion for you - well a couple actually - there is a cafe at the edge if Telegraph Hill which might be worth a shot with a pizza stand attached - from memory think it is called White Rabbit or something like that. Cafe has odd evenings when they have music  as well. Not sure if you are to young but give them a go. Get some leaflets/cards done and pop through letterbox or on car windscreen in local area offering your services to clean cars… sure you have done this already. Wish you all the best.    
    • Thank you so much for this - really appreciate it.
