Face to face fundraising

One of the ways we raise money is through face to face fundraising. The funds we raise go towards vital research and support services for people living with MS. A big thank you to everyone who supports us in this way!

What’s face to face fundraising and why are we doing it?

Face to face fundraising involves using paid, professional fundraisers based all around the UK to fundraise on our behalf. We work with the fundraising agency REAL and their professional fundraisers. They go door-to-door, visiting residential areas to speak to supporters at their home. They may also work at shopping centres and train stations.

Face to face fundraising is a cost-effective way to get vital regular donations. And raise awareness of MS and our work. It's the only method of fundraising that allows us to have one-to-one conversations with people all around the UK. It also helps us direct more people to our national and local services.

How to tell if fundraisers are genuine

Our face to face fundraisers will be wearing an ID badge, jackets or shirts with the MS Society logo on, and they will be using a tablet to enter supporters’ details.

Our fundraisers will never ask for a gift in cash, or for sponsorship for an event.

If you have any questions about a fundraiser or your own regular payment please get in touch with our Supporter Care Team at [email protected]
