Last week and on several previous occasions there have been collections for Help The Heroes, couple of rings of red buckets and a speaker blaring out music, usually the same song all day.
The same people are there this week with the same setup, but have now swapped the H4H stickers for Christies.
Are they legit ?

Don't they have to have a licence to do that? Bit suspicious, same folk collecting for two different organisations.
Edit: found this on the www
It is illegal in this country to hold a Street Collection to collect money or sell articles for the benefit of charitable or other purposes without obtaining a Street Collection Licence from the Council if that collection is to be held 'in a street or public place'. A 'public place' is a 'place where the public has access'.
If they have a licence they should be able to produce it if you ask to see it.
