Overview
Charity Link runs face-to-face fundraising campaigns that recruit regular donors for charities across the United Kingdom. Its field teams explain a charity's work to members of the public and ask them to support it through recurring direct-debit donations. Campaigns take place at private venues, including shopping centres and transport hubs, as well as at people's doorsteps, with locations chosen for the audience each charity wants to reach. Charity partners use the agency's sales teams and campaign support to build a continuing source of donations rather than relying only on one-off gifts. Charity Link was founded in 1995 and has its head office in Ruscombe, Berkshire.
