Ban adverts for charity on TV

Closed 35 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe there are too many charity adverts on television, requesting donations or even to be included in people's wills. We want the Government to ban adverts for charities on TV, as these adverts often instil guilt, and can affect viewer's mental health.
We believe that charity adverts should not be on television. It can be exhausting to see so much negativity and adverts using disturbing visuals and footage to encourage people to donate to charity. Some charity adverts use actors, which we believe is misleading.
