About Us
We're an award-winning charity fundraising agency with nearly 30 years' experience, that delivers fundraising and awareness campaigns for some of the UK's most well-known charities such as Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs and Breast Cancer Now.
Our passion for fundraising continues to grow and we raise over £40m for our charity partners each year.
The Door to Door Fundraising Role
Our door to door fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, fulltime or part-time.
Door to door fundraising takes place in pre-allocated areas by postcode, visiting specific streets and houses.
This role works well for people who prefer to work outside and enjoy a quieter pace. You'll cover about 1 mile an hour and will be on your feet for your whole shift so we recommend comfortable shoes!

You will be the public face of one of our charities, interacting with the public and seeking their support by way of regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign-ups. This role really does make a difference to people's lives!
