We contact our supporters for various reasons; to thank them, let them know about our work and sometimes to ask for more help.
We’re really grateful for all the support we receive but we want to reach out to as many children as possible so sometimes we will ask if you’re able to increase your support or make a one off donation to a specific cause.
Of course, if you would prefer not to receive letters or phone calls from us, we understand.
To change the way we contact you please call our Supporter Care team on +27 (0)12 430 7775 or email them at
[email protected], letting us know your full address and name so we can find your record and make the relevant changes.
