Company who 'pressured people into donating' on streets of Manchester fined

A company that claimed to be raising money to fight knife crime has been hit with a hefty fine for illegally collecting money in Manchester.

Under the Police and Factories Act 1916, it is illegal for money to be collected on the street without a permit. In January of this year the Fundraising Regulator concluded that Inside Success had breached the Code of Fundraising Practice after an investigation was held into complaints made by members of the public against the company over two years.

A parent also told Manchester City Council that their child had been targeted and pressured into donating.
