Canvassers

If you are unsure if a caller claiming to be from our Charity is genuine, please call us on 03450 669 999. Our lottery canvassers cover Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. They all carry identification and they will never accept or collect cash or take donations. Anyone who signs up to the lottery will be invited to pay by direct debit or cheque. They usually operate Monday to Friday between the hours of 10am and 8pm and occasionally at weekends.

Before our canvassers enter an area, they will always check for 'No Cold Calling' signs on lamposts or on people's front doors, this is the most effective way of stopping people from cold calling on your front door. We will also report our presence in an area to the local police a week in advance, so they can be sure that they are genuine. In the case of Bedfordshire, we will also contact the local Trading Standards office to make them aware of their locations on certain dates.

The health and safety of the community is incredibly important to us, which is why the team will continue to keep a safe 2-metre distance. All of our canvassers also carry face masks and will ask you if you would prefer them to wear one or not when talking to you. Keep an eye out for us them red air ambulance t-shirts and fleeces!
