Company who illegally 'pressured people into donating' to them on streets of Manchester fined
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA 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.

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.
