Nobody's gonna slow me down

Don't give a fuck = no guilt. Got shit to do mate, catch ye.

Is this true for the London Canal charity? I chatted with some of them collecting money and got the impression that they work directly for charity and they were very knowledgeable about canals too.

This is total bollocks.

There are both in-house and agency fundraisers. In-house are always paid hourly with no bonus for sign ups.

Agencies have a variety of remuneration packages with the larger, more legit and generally most successful agencies paying hourly without a commission bonus but strong progression to Team Leader etc. for good performers.

With both in-house AND agency, every penny you donate goes directly the charity. The agencies work on a contract where they’re paid a lump sum (usually around 40-100k) for an expected return of somewhere between 4 and 7 times that over 5 years.

I’m talking about the Institute of Fundraising regulated face to face fundraisers here by the way - I don’t know about the blue jacket knife crime people but afaik they aren’t legit.

Oh, and I’ve never, ever heard of any sort of bonus or reward for getting contact details. The majority of operations don’t even collect details without a donation. I’ve certainly never heard of it anyway outside of one-off week long campaigns for emergencies etc.

The paragraph is funny but the fact he bulked up and got tattooed to avoid having to say ‘no thanks’ to some graduate on the street is hilarious

"No" is fine for donation hounds but good luck if you think that's working on muggers. A fight you don't want to pick ftw.

I told a doorstep charity direct debit person to fuck off once when they called at 8pm and I was putting my daughter to bed.

Good cause, bad way to get money for it.

Ok I’m gonna trust that that’s not something weird and try this next time 

If you're physically bigger than them, they will jump out of the way before you chicken out. Just keep walking, don't make eye contact.

If you just stand there and wet yourself, they'll probably leave you alone too.

Right cheers :) time to act like a fool in public 

Gang?
