Tagline We know you care. Please care enough to give.
Story A man wearing sign saying: “Fuck the poor” was sent out to the streets of the capital as part of a campaign for the charity by Publicis. Londoners were secretly filmed taking the man to task for the offensive statement.
Afterwards, the man flipped his sign over so that it read: “Help the poor” and he proceeded to ask for donations - but this time people completely ignored him. 
Philosophy The Pilion Trust, a charity that helps some of the poorest and most vulnerable, has conducted a social experiment on the people of London to see if we really do care about those who are less fortunate.
