Chuggers

Chuggers, as the public and the press know them, are now simply part of the furniture of any British high street or shopping centre.

Universally avoided, they lie waiting, ready to pounce with their charismatic approach to raising money.

Ben Baxter's new play, Chuggers, uses his real life fundraising experiences to tell the story of two best friends, Mark and Jelly, and their desperate attempts to fulfil their inner ambitions.

With street fundraising bringing in more than £120 million for charities across the UK each year, it’s clearly a lucrative business – but not necessarily for these lads, who want to drop the clipboards for a chance to chase their dreams.
