Why does the Charity use face-to-face fundraising?
Regular gifts are vital for charities across the UK and King’s College Hospital Charity is no different.
Every gift we receive makes a huge difference to the work we do, but regular monthly gifts have the added benefit of allowing us to plan for the long term and use funds to their greatest effect.
Many of our projects - from the helipad at King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill, to our world leading research - require months, or even years of funding. Knowing exactly how much money we will receive in the future allows us to plan for the long term and ultimately use our supporters’ donations more effectively.
Our Annual Report each year compares our expenditure on fundraising activities with the income those activities generate to support King's.
How do I know the fundraiser I am talking to is genuine?
You can make sure the fundraiser you are talking to is legitimate by checking the following:
All fundraisers for King’s College Hospital Charity will be wearing a name badge showing their name, the company they work for (Appco UK Ltd) as well as the charity they are fundraising on behalf of.
All fundraisers will be wearing King’s College Hospital Charity apparel and handing out King’s College Hospital Charity materials, all of which have our logo clearly on display.
Fundraisers will never accept or ask for cash.
Fundraisers will be using tablet devices to collect donations securely, and will never write down personal or private information on paper or another device.
If you are still concerned that the fundraiser you have seen is not genuine, please contact us at [email protected] or phone us on 020 4526 8050 between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.
