Our professionally trained fundraisers talk to people at private sites, such as shopping centres or visit people at their homes in selected areas across the country. They ask people to support us with a regular gift via direct debit or to sign up to a direct debit to play our weekly lottery. Our face-to-face fundraisers are different to our charity store collections teams who collect cash outside supermarkets and in train stations.
Regular giving is immensely important to RNIB. Right now we can only reach one in three blind and partially sighted people in the UK. Through regular giving we can help more people who need us. Find out about some of the other ways we raise money.
Our fundraisers wear an ID badge, with their name and charity number clearly visible. They will carry RNIB branded literature.

We work closely with a number of agencies to help with our fundraising. We make sure all our fundraisers meet our high standards. This includes the regulations and codes of conduct as set out by the Fundraising Regulator and Institute of Fundraising.
Read about our fundraising promise.
Our fundraisers are licensed to fundraise seven days a week between 10am and 9pm. For door-to-door fundraising they are most likely to call after 1.30pm and before 9pm. Private site fundraising is done between 10am and 6pm (dependent on the private sites opening hours).
Our fundraisers work all over the UK, all year round. To find out if fundraisers are in your area, please consult the lists below detailing where our fundraisers are going to be.
