Well would you believe it, I just had 3 men from Battersea Dogs Homes trying to collect money from my door.
I thought the charities had stopped all this hard sell of begging.
I think I will report them to Norfolk CC

As far as I know they shouldn't be door knocking and they may not even been from there, I would report it.

Apparently they are doing nothing wrong legally and nothing can be done to stop them doing this.
It was a complete waste of time me phoning Norfolk CC because the call went through to CAB who take the calls for them.

I think it is awful coming to your home. I find the christian aid people quite intimidating when they come for envelops. You feel very obliged
