Face-to-face fundraising

To help the UK's most vulnerable and neglected children, we need more people like you to support us.

We're hugely grateful to those who are able to support us with a regular monthly gift. This type of ongoing financial support provides the vital long-term funding that our projects throughout the UK desperately rely on.

The work we do wouldn’t be possible without regular donations.

We carry out some fundraising activities face-to-face. You may have seen our fundraisers asking for donations at your door or in your local shopping centre.

Face-to-face fundraising helps us to tell people about our work. It helps raise our profile as a charity.

Our fundraising activities are carefully regulated by the Institute of Fundraising Compliance Directorate, as well as the new Fundraising Regulator.

This type of fundraising is cost effective. It helps us work with children from before they’re born through to their twenties.

As a charity, making contact with potential donors face-to-face is the best way to tailor our conversations to the concerns and interests of individuals.

Our fundraisers speak to members of the public about setting up a regular gift via Direct Debit.

Supporters who are able to give regularly make a big difference to Action for Children. They mean we can plan, budget and continue to provide the life-saving work we do across the UK.

To allow you to set up a successful donation, our fundraisers will ask for details such as your sort code and account number. These will be securely entered into an iPad, which uses software to transfer it to our main database in a safe and protected way.

If you’re at all unhappy about sharing your details this way, you can visit our secure donate page to enter the details yourself.
