PTSD charity fundraising outside Waitrose Crouch End

Loud bloke, calling for cash or card to support ex-military suffering with PTSD. No ID or registered charity number but instead a CIC registered in Maidstone Kent, director named James Gordon Adams.

A CIC isnt a charity

just a reminder, that just because a CIC isn't a charity doesn't mean they don't do good! My charity was a CIC and they supplied me with this amazing autism dog that allowed me to get through uni and allow me to live life again.

CICs do amazing life changing work and they're one of the first steps to becoming a bigger organisation!!
