This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Make it illegal for "chuggers" (charity muggers) to accost people in public.
A petition for those of us sick of walking up and down high streets in towns and cities and being accosted by people working for charities trying to engage me in conversation with a view to signing me up for donations. It should be made illegal. If we want to donate we will go to them.
More details
Lincoln High Street, like most others is awash with people accosting you on behalf of various charities, sometimes as many as half a dozen. Fed up waving them away. If you feel the same, sign this petition.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
