Wondering whether I'm being too suspicious!
Just walked into my local train station where there was a man in a neon safety jacket shaking a yellow bucket for 'disabled children'. When I asked what the charity was (I couldn't see a name of a charity organisation anywhere) he pointed to the bucket- which said 'St Mungo's fund for disabled children' with a picture of a child in a wheelchair. I asked which St Mungo's it was and he looked at me angrily and said 'we're a registered charity, if you don't want to give any money then just say so'.
I was a bit taken aback and walked onto the platform but now wonder whether it was legit or not!
I have DD's set up out of my account to Macmillan and the RSPCA and usually drop change into a pot, but only if I know the charity- am I BU?
Do some smaller charities suffer because of suspicious people like me?!
