You'd think they would target a town or a city. More potential signups, but instead they target villages assuming that we are easy targets. Then even though you tell them you are busy they ignore you and push their moral blackmail onto you anyway. They ruin the reputation of the organisations they are peddling for. Shame on you. Stay away.

Just had one call to my house in Epping…
Just had one call to my house in Epping today .my wife who is ill would not answer the door . We have a ring go bell. He had seen my wife through the front window. He actually tried the door handle to see it the door would open . I can see this clearly on my ring go video. Beware elderly and elderly people

Scammers and thieves.
A charity mugger came to my house and asked for my details. Despite my explicitly asking and the representative stating that GOS would not take money from my account, they set up a Direct Debit without my permission and took money from my account. The representative lied directly. I'm not talking about evasion or mistruth. An out-and-out lie.
This experience has very much changed my relationship with charity organisations. I will no longer be giving money to any charity under any circumstances.
Shame on you Great Ormond Street. You don't deserve people's money.

GOSH door knocker walked through…
GOSH door knocker walked through gardens staring in window on way from next door to my door. Told him I don’t give to anyone who comes cold calling. Later the same day and he’s back again. Not acceptable, firstly do not stare in my windows, secondly, No means No!

Is it a charity or not?
Well, I started by reading some other reviews. Not good is it?.
I wanted to donate £50 to their new childrens hospital so called the number.
Sorry... but we are unable to accept calls at the moment.
shocking.....do you want donations or not?.
Called an hour later....still not taking donations.
This country is truly broken

Rude GOSH Fundraisers in Rhyl
I was not harassed in my home, but I was harassed whilst out shopping, on two consecutive days!
I was leaving Home Bargains in Rhyl and a young male called out, "Hello Curly Whirly, can I ask you a silly question".... I am an adult and yes I have curly hair, what right has this kid to address me is such a way, and to assume I am going to be interested in what his silly question might be!
The following day Easter Saturday when leaving Sainsburys in Rhyl, I was spoken to by a different male, "Hello Miss Curly can I ask you a silly question" ... what the hell!!!!! These rude young people are obviously trained to pick out some physical feature, perhaps to somehow appeal to their victims, well it doesnt work! Nor does the chat line... can I ask you a silly question!
GOSH do you have any idea how these young yobs are alienating people from an otherwise undoubted great cause? I would no more sign up with them for donations, thereby giving them some monetary benefit for capturing me, than fly to the moon.
Think on GOSH and perhaps stick to professional means of getting funds, and not using rude flyby money grabbing youths.
