Lottery canvassers
Every week our canvassers are out and about in our region inviting people to join our lottery and support our lifesaving work.
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 lamp posts or on people’s front doors; this is the most effective way of stopping people from cold calling on your front door. If you would like a free ‘No Cold Calling’ sticker, please call our Supporter Team on 03450 669 999 or email info@eaaa.org.uk.
We will also report our presence in an area to the local police a week in advance, so they can be sure that the canvassers are genuine. In the case of Bedfordshire, we will also contact the local Trading Standards office to make them aware of canvasser locations on certain dates.
