Have we knocked on your door lately?
If you live in one of London boroughs you might be visited by one of our fundraisers!
The fundraisers will tell you about the work of Evelina London Children’s Hospital and Guy’s Cancer and ask for your support with a regular voluntary donation by Direct Debit only. They are not permitted to accept cash or cheques on the doorstep.
A small, regular gift given in this way is very valuable to the hospitals and with your help, we can build an extraordinary future and be there for more patients and families who need us. Donations can help provide things like state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology.
Our fundraisers
All our fundraisers wear identifiable clothing branded with either the Evelina London or Guy’s Cancer logo and carry official identification cards, which are required by law.If you would like to verify a fundraiser’s details, please contact us.

Why door-to-door fundraising?
Door-to-door fundraising is a very effective method used by many charities for recruiting new long-term supporters and for increasing awareness of the charity in local communities. Our door-to-door campaigns are conducted with the help of a professional fundraising organisation, which specialises in this type of fundraising.
Door-to-door fundraising is regulated by the Institute of Fundraising (IoF), a charity-led membership body for all types of face-to-face fundraising, including door to door fundraising. For more information, visit the IoF website www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk.
