is this a legitimate group?

got visited at home on fri 30th jan, by a young lady, who claimed to be collecting on behalf of save the children.

signed up for DD to donate, but am now having doubts

can anyone reassure me?

I thought Save the Children used local supporter groups to fundraise. Did she show you anything from StC or other official documentation? The website looks OK, but I have never heard of them.

she showed me a tag with the StC logo and her name on.

tried to contact them today but to no avail; am putting that down to weather, as they are based in london.

rang StC themselves, but no joy, they said weather could force changing of opening hours.

will keep an eye out for when direct debit appears online

hey ho

It's better to send it in writing to someone in fundraising as then it could be forwarded to the right person.

they are geunine by the looks:-

Major charities call on our expertise to recruit supporters on their behalf. It’s the most cost-effective method for charities to gain long term donors who are happy to sign up to direct debits (far superior to advertising and direct mail). Charities like these monthly direct debits as they’re able to plan for the future with a clear idea of what their income will be. Finally, supporters recruited by fundraisers tend to be the most committed to specific causes
