Royal British Legion Canvassers Alert 


We are receiving reports that canvassers are in your area collecting donations on behalf of the Royal British Legion.

Some residents have reported that the canvassers have been rude and aggressive in their nature and Lincolnshire Police would be obliged if any residents that have had dealings on the doorstep could contact us to report details.

We have not at this stage verified that the canvassers are in fact working on behalf on the Royal British Legion and caution should be taken when giving donations or signing any paperwork.

Remember that if any person knocks on your door and refuses to leave when asked to do so, is committing an offence and you should ring Tel:101 or 999 if you feel threatened.


Not sure – don’t open the door.
