How F2F fundraisers can deal with cost of living objections...

Research says that the current economic crisis will push 1.3 million people in the UK into absolute poverty by 2023. The bite of inflation currently rests at 10.1 percent, having risen from 5.4% in January. The basics needed to live have suddenly become unaffordable. Coupled with sky rocketing energy prices thanks to the Ukraine war isn’t just damaging businesses and everyday people; it’s taking a huge toll on charities too. According to think tank Pro Bono Economics, charities will need to spend an extra ￡2 billion on wages in 2024 to aid the rise in inflation. Whilst the majority scrutinise budgets and see what can be cut back on, the predictable first cull is charity donations. ?

Charity Link looks at how to make ‘the ask’ for regular giving as palatable as possible, while remaining respectful of peoples pockets.
