Face to Face Fundraising
Why do we use face-to-face fundraising?
Face-to-face fundraising is crucial in allowing us to connect with potential supporters who may not otherwise hear about our work. It provides a predictable and stable stream of donations, enabling us to plan confidently for the future. This vital long-term support through consistent contributions ensures we can continue making a difference in the lives of seriously ill children and their families.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do we work with agencies?
We partner with professional fundraising agencies to help us speak to more potential supporters than we could do ourselves. Our chosen partners are passionate about our work and adhere to the highest standards of professionalism. We expect all fundraisers to treat every interaction with respect and adhere to fundraising regulations and our marvellous fundraising promise.
