Yes, we do. We have a team of professional fundraisers who go door-to-door asking if residents would like to support Thames Valley Air Ambulance by setting up a Direct Debit to play our lottery.
Yes. This enables us to speak to many more supporters than we can ourselves. More conversations bring more support, so we can bring the best possible emergency medical care to patients when they need it most.
Yes, they are professionally trained and paid to work for us.
We partner with Lottery Fundraising Services (LFS), whose fundraisers work as part of our team. They are as passionate about what we do as us, and set themselves the same high standards of supporter care. They are licensed by the Gambling Commission as External Lottery Managers and are ISO 27001 compliant.
Our fundraisers wear a photo ID badge with our logo on it and will be dressed in a Thames Valley Air Ambulance polo shirt or jacket. Always ask to see the fundraiser’s ID badge and feel free to take a note of the number. If you have any concerns, call us on 0300 999 0135 or send us a message.
No. Our fundraisers are not authorised to ask for cash. They are only permitted to ask someone to sign up to play our weekly lottery or give a regular gift by Direct Debit. If you are asked for cash at your door, the fundraiser may not be genuine.
