Face to Face Fundraising

Face to face fundraising

Face to face fundraising allows us to raise vital funds to carry out the work we do. It is also one of the most successful and cost-effective ways to recruit new supporters and raise awareness about homelessness. A large number of these new supporters will continue to support St Mungo's for many years.

When we are face to face fundraising we ask new supporters to set up a direct debit. This provides us with ongoing income meaning we can plan ahead and be there for homeless people for as long as they need our support.

St Mungo's fundraisers work on the street and on private land, they only ask people to sign up to direct debit. They never ask for or collect cash from people.

A regular gift of £10 a month could help people who have been homeless to turn their lives around.

Face to Face Fundraising and Covid-19

During lockdown St Mungo's took their face to face fundraising team off the streets, now restrictions have eased we have returned to face to face fundraising.

How are you going to fundraise safely?

St Mungo's has fully risk assessed our face to face fundraising program and have trained our team on the streets to the highest possible standard.

We have provided hand sanitiser for fundraisers to use between conversations and whenever they come into contact with an object or have to touch something which others may have touched.

Equipment

Fundraisers are not allowed to take cash - they are only permitted to ask for regular donations through a direct debit. This is done via contactless technology to ensure that tablets will not be passed between fundraisers and new donors.

Welcome packs will not be given to new donors to limit the risk for the public and fundraises, we will now send these via a postal service.

Physical distancing

Staff will maintain the appropriate physical distance from members of the public and between other fundraisers. For example, if a fundraiser approaches a member of the public they should keep a 2 meter distance. Due to the risk of transmission, fundraisers will never shout to attract attention or during the course of a conversation, even if they are in a loud public setting.
