We find that many people enjoy talking to our fundraisers and like having the opportunity to donate to Battersea on a monthly basis, and without them we simply wouldn’t be able to carry on our work. Under the guidelines set by the Fundraising Regulator, which we strictly adhere to, fundraisers can call at residences up to 9pm. This is to make sure that we can reach people who may be at work until later in the evening. We train all our fundraisers to be respectful and cautious when fundraising at all times, particularly in the evening and especially during the darker months, so as not to upset or unduly worry anyone.
