They came today FOUR times
They came today FOUR times, they don't understand "I'm not interested" response. I told them "No" on many different occasions and they still don't give up!!! This is disgusting behaviour and they are harassing my family!!!

I came across this charity in Newcastle…
I came across this charity in Newcastle and wow the behaviour of these particular two persons was appalling! KASIM was so disrepectful! He's making fun of people who are not ready to sign up for them! I don't know what kind of trainings are they getting from this charity. Shame on them!!!!

No privacy from this company
I work from home and have a sign on the door, no cold callers, charities… and so forth. Yet they still knock. When I tell them I am working they persist and ask for a better time. I will never donate to charities that engage in this kind of behaviour. They should learn some etiquette and pay attention to signs on doors.

Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer.
As a person who loves charity work and fundraising, I have to say that this is the worst charity I have encountered. I may sound like a Karen, but if I want to donate, I want to donate on my own accord, an act of charity has to be made out of an act of willingness for it to mean anything. That donation meant nothing and has filled me with anger. NO choice was given. Not one, "Would you like to donate today." No. Just a, "So, how much are you donating today". One of the options said, "Other", so I said "Other", and they said, "I'm SoRRy BuT We CanT UsE ThaT oPtiOn TOdaY". So tell me, tell me why is it there?
No. Choice. Given.

Feeling harassed while in work meetings
I was working from home and in meetings all day and 4 times in the matter of 4 hours the same 2 people rang the doorbell and knocked on the door I saw them on my ring doorbell. Why is it when you can not answer the door for whatever reason do they continue to repeatedly call back
