Why do WWF use the telephone to fundraise?

The telephone is one of the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective fundraising methods for WWF-UK. We only call people if they are already a WWF supporter. We use the phone to thank our supporters and to ensure that their adoption or membership pack has arrived safely. We also use it to keep our supporters informed about our vital conservation work and how their support is making a difference. We also call supporters to ask them to renew their support and/or increase their monthly gift if they want to.

We use a number of high quality telephone fundraising agencies to make calls on our behalf. All of the agencies we work with are closely monitored to ensure calling is of the highest standard and complies with fundraising regulation.

If you don't want to receive telephone calls from WWF, you can easily opt-out anytime by calling our Supporter Care team on 0800 035 5929 (7 days a week, 8am to 10pm) or email supportercare@wwf.org.uk.
