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.
Staff from the social enterprise Inside Success were found to be asking for donations of anywhere from £1 to one million pounds, despite the company not being a registered charity. In one case a collector from the company even targeted and pressured a child into donating.
Manchester City Council’s Licensing and Hour of Hours Team began investigating the company in March last year. Officers witnessed employees of Inside Success taking donations from members of the public on numerous occasions despite the company not having a permit to collect money and not being a registered charity.

Complaints included employees intimidating members of the public to obtain donations. Following the issuing of the regulator’s final decision, 31 new complaints from members of the public were received.
