I'd like to bring your attention to what can only be described as imposters or as I like to call them 'scum'.
The Military/Ex-Military Community is becoming increasingly concerned over the increasing sightings of so called 'Military Charities' collecting across the UK, some of these 'Charities' ask you to buy a ticket for a prize draw, as little as 20% of the proceeds from these tickets go to the 'Military Charity', it is not unusual to find that 50% goes to the individual selling the tickets, the remaining 30% goes to the company running the so called charity ( Figures may vary)
You will see numerous versions of the same charity floating around the UK & slowly but surely we are shutting them down & getting them kicked out of shopping centres, major retailers etc but with continued support we should get the charities commission to actually do something about them.
Please be aware & please do not give monies to them.
edit: looks like the work being carried out over the last few weeks is now becoming headline news Warning over charity donations at Christmas
