Ban the chuggers?
For The One Show, Angelica Bell has been out and about with face-to-face fundraisers - so-called "chuggers", a nickname for "charity muggers".
In November 2008 charity watchdog, Intelligent Giving of 50 so-called "chuggers", and found that they are not the best way to give.
But a Public Fundraising Regulatory Association spokesperson defended the "chuggers" as an appropriate and effective method of fundraising even if they can be sometimes "over enthusiastic" in their pursuit of donations.
Do you stop for chuggers? Does the fact that they're raising money for charity excuse their behaviour? Should they be banned? Or maybe you support the work that they do? Tell us please.
