Face to Face fundraising

One of the ways we raise vital funds for the work we do is through Face to Face fundraising, raising awareness and speaking to people about our services and the way they can support us.

We carry out Face to Face fundraising on the street and at public sites such as shopping centres, all over the UK.

Find out more about our Face to Face fundraising, including where we'll be this week.
