Watch out for charity bags scam, Hull's Dove House Hospice warns

Dove House Hospice says its logo has been used on charity bags it has not sent out.

A spokesman said: "It is unfair that someone is using our branding and logo to get donations for their own gain.

“The cult at Winestead (can't link so Google "tvind School of Thought" for proof) do fake 'charity' doorstep clothes collections even though their charity status was revoked by the Charity Commission in 1997-8.”
