Face-to-face fundraising update

Following our successful pilot at the end of 2023, we restarted face-to-face fundraising just over a month ago.

Our paid fundraisers have been predominantly based in Swansea and in and around London areas since the beginning of the campaign.

So far, we’ve recruited 222 new donors, which is amazing – with an average annual gift of £117. The average age of our donor is 46.

REAL, the agency we work with on the campaign, make welcome calls to the new supporters on behalf of MS Society to thank them for signing up to regular giving and confirm their details. They also ask for their opinion on the fundraiser they spoke to. The feedback from new supporters about the fundraisers has been fantastic so far, which is great to hear.

Where will our fundraisers be?

Every Friday afternoon, we'll let the staff teams who support our volunteers know where our face-to-face fundraisers will be based for the following week. And we'll contact the local groups in that area directly to tell them. You can also find the locations here.

If you have fundraising planned in the coming months, please let us know and we can work together to ensure we’re happy with where we’ll be based. We'd also love to hear your thoughts on the campaign, especially if you've spoken to our fundraisers directly or were told they're fundraising near you.

Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] with any feedback or questions.
