Alzheimers Research UK

Oct 13th, 2022

This review is following a negative and unsolicited cold approach by chuggers in Plymouth on 2 August 2022. I don't like being approached by chuggers representing any organisation. This is because I feel that my personal space and boundaries are being violated. It's made worse when chuggers ignore the fact that I'm walking deliberately away from them but still decide to approach and attempt to interact with me. The chuggers that tried to do this in Plymouth ignored my boundaries and nonverbal communication (the diagonal beeline away from them). The worst of chuggers, Micah, belittled my declaration of being autistic as being similar to, "Oh, I'm Hispanic so you can't talk to me." Micah refused to confirm their name. I only learnt of it by repeatedly asking one of their colleagues. After this, before I was about to leave to eat my takeaway food, Micah shared a high-five with a colleague. From reading other reviews, some of which were posted 6 years ago, it's clear that Alzheimer's Research UK has not improved when it comes to seeking donations from the public. I would be embarrassed if my organisation/charity recruited people like Micah. Doubly so if they were being paid by the hour, which these chuggers are. Alzheimer's Research UK has joined the likes of Oxfam on my list of unethical charities and organisations that will never get my money.

We called these guys to collaborate and help build awareness to those affected by Alzheimer's in our local community. The first thing they asked us was how many followers we have and then proceeded to berate us over the phone telling us we are unworthy on collaborating a photography project to document and build awareness around the condition. I thought this was a charity? What happened to goodwill?

Shout out to Rosemary S and her colleague who knocked on my door in Peckham to tell me more about Alzheimer's Research UK and encouraged me (without any pressure but just by her persuasive facts!) to start a monthly donation to help with the amazing work the charity does.

would just like to say that today had a young man by name of Kevin Ocean. He called at my door regarding sighning up for Alzheimers Research. On many occasiins have received very agresive canvasers who dont listen or are very demanding. Well let me praise this young man. A real gentleman, and pleasant. Keep up the good work and thank you for being understanding. Thanks. M. A.
