A group of charity workers raised £300 for the victims of the Turkish/Syrian earthquake have been fined by their local council for 'unlicensed street trading.'
‘Then they guy got extremely rude and said, “You can complain to whoever you want to.” It’s extremely sad because they lied to get our details.’
While Waltham Forest Council has now cancelled the fines, the RWCA called the treatment from the council and 3GS appalling.The group in a statement: ‘Apart from depicting the disassociation of the local authority, reps and parties with its constituents, it is a clear display of hawkish tactics utilised by subcontracting “enforcement services” providers to maximise issuance of fixed penalty notices.
‘Hundreds of charities in the UK, including the government assigned Disasters Emergency Committee an umbrella organisation for charities such as Oxfam and Save the Children have also urgently mobilised, exactly like ourselves to remedy the needs of the same peoples. They are promoted on national television, football stadiums and giant screens across the country.
‘All while smaller, grassroots organisations such as ourselves face new hurdles every day to the extent our collections and bank accounts are hassled, volunteers pushed about, and bucket collections appropriated by giant businesses who refer to themselves as “Fixed Penalty Enforcement contractors”.
