Handy Tips
If this is the first time you have undertaken tin/bucket collections, or you’re an absolute pro, we have some handy tips on how to prepare for the day:
Code of Fundraising Practice
- Be polite to people at all times.
- Do not place undue pressure on people for donations.
- Do not leave tins/buckets unattended when fundraising.
- Take all reasonable steps to treat a donor fairly, so that they can make an informed decision about any donation.
- Think about who you can fundraise with, such as friends, family, or colleagues. Fundraising with others makes the experience more enjoyable, and you’ll probably be surprised how excited people become when you ask them to get involved.
- Check the weather before you go fundraising, and if you are determined when the weather is bad, remember to take some waterproofs or wrap up warm.
- Smile and keep eye contact with people, as they are more likely to see you as friendly and approachable.
- Some people may want to see your Letter of Authority or permit, so remember to keep it on you at all times.
