Dear Ms Graham
Action for Blind People is a member
of the PFRA (Public Fundraising Regulatory Association). We consider
that the PFRA is best able to represent our views on
the possible impact of the Bill on direct dialogue fundraising.
We refer the committee to the PFRA written response on these issues.
As background for the committee to show
how important this method of fundraising is to the sector we are
able to share with you in confidence our plans to recruit
52000 new supporters using Face to Face fundraising (direct
dialogue) in 2004/5. We are relying on our Face to Face supporters
recruited since the year 2000 to donate over £6.5 million
in 2004/5 to fund our vital work with blind and partially sighted
people.
Yours sincerely
Lisa Baverstock
