Monitoring the activities of those annoying Chuggers or “Charity Muggers” (they prefer to be called “Street Fundraisers”). These are the people who approach you on the street on behalf of a charity and try to persuade you to commit to a regular donation. Many find them a right nuisance!

Harassing or not?
Very short (fair use) extract from the BBC Inside Out SE programme on Chuggers 7/1/13. Shows an interview with a chugger saying he doesn't harass people while his collegue clearly *does* harass someone in the background. Since Everychild knew they were on camera, you'd expect squeaky clean behaviour from the team! Later on in the programme, it comes out that the non-harassing interviewee made zero sign-ups that day!
