Door-to-door fundraising
Door-to-door fundraising is a very important and highly effective part of our fundraising programme. It allows fundraisers to engage with members of the public and also raise awareness of the work we do at Felix and find new supporters, whose regular donations are vital for us to continue the work that we do.
Why do we use this as a method of fundraising?
This method of fundraising has come about due to a partnership with our corporate partner, Hello Fresh. Fundraisers will be asking individuals if they would like to sign up to a Hello Fresh account and only if they show interest, will a secondary ask for supporting The Felix Project be given.
This method of fundraising is a cost effective way to donate, but also helps keep our costs to a minimum and better plan ahead and budget effectively.
How do I know that the fundraiser is legitimate? Should they have ID? How do I recognise them?
All of our fundraisers carry official identification cards, which are required by law. They will also be carrying Felix literature and electronic tablets featuring The Felix Project.
What do the fundraisers ask for?
The fundraisers ask members of the public to support The Felix Project by direct debit and are not authorised to accept any other means of payments as a donation (cash, cheques etc.). This ask will only be given if the person agrees to sign up to a Hello Fresh account.
Is this type of fundraising regulated?
The Fundraising Regulator regulates fundraising activities used by charities in the UK and enforces a Code of Fundraising Practice, which aims to make certain that peoples’ experience of this type of fundraising is positive.
