A marriage made in heaven
You need three things to run a great street campaign: great fundraisers, great fundraisers, and great fundraisers.
Actually, it’s four things if you include the flask of tea for breaks.
It sounds like a cliché to say it, but anybody representing your charity on the street simply has to be motivated, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, just like the exemplary boys and gals in our How’s My Fundraising section.
Gift’s fundraisers and prospectors are not paid a penny in commission, leaving them free to fundraise with transparency and integrity. They’re all full-time and live and work locally. Above all, they want to make a difference - however big or small - to the planet we’re on.
“I don’t do this just to pay the bills or pass the time – I do it because I want to help some small corner of the world strive to be better.”
Michael Jones, Fundraiser, Nottingham
