2. How do we fundraise?
Door-to-door fundraisers
Door-to-door fundraising is one of the most effective ways of recruiting supporters for us. Our door-to-door fundraisers knock on doors around the country to speak to people about our world-class research and life-changing care. And they ask people if they can give a regular gift.
We work with door-to-door fundraisers for both regular giving and our Pink Ribbon Lottery.
Private site fundraisers
Our private site fundraisers speak to members of the public about us in private sites, like shopping centres and train stations. And they encourage them to sign up to make a regular donation to our work.
Our private site fundraisers work with us for both regular giving and our Pink Ribbon Lottery.
3. Our fundraising partners
We partner with professional fundraising agencies who conduct face-to-face fundraising on our behalf. Please find details of these agencies below.
4. Frequently asked questions
-
Why do you use face-to-face fundraising?
Face-to-face fundraising is an effective way to engage with the public and tell them about our work. And it gives them the opportunity to set up a regular donation.
The majority of our regular givers are signed up through our professional face-to-face fundraisers.
Their donations provide regular, reliable income that allows us to plan for the future, and help those affected by breast cancer right now.
-
How do I know if a fundraiser is legitimate?
All our fundraisers should be wearing branded clothing and an ID badge.
You can check if we’re fundraising in your area by downloading the site list above via the link. If you do come across fundraisers in an area not listed, please don’t assume they aren’t legitimate.
If you have any concerns, feel free to contact our supporter care team with the location details to check our latest site listings.
-
Why do you fundraise after 8pm?
The Fundraising Regulator states that fundraisers are legally allowed to knock until 9pm.
We find more people are at home in the evenings, and not busy with work, so it’s a great time to have a chat about our work.
-
Are your fundraisers and fundraising agencies paid?
Yes. We believe it’s only fair our fundraisers are paid for the valuable work they do for us, and our fundraisers’ pay is dependent on the policies of the fundraising partners we work with.
You can find more information about this on each of the agencies’ websites listed on this page.
