When you make a donation, sponsor a child or fundraise for Plan International UK, you open up a world of opportunity for children, so they can achieve their potential. It’s the most amazing gift. And in return, we pledge to maintain the highest standards of accountability to you, and the children and communities we work with. HOW WE FUNDRAISE To make sure we can give every child every chance, we aim to share our message with you as efficiently as possible. We fundraise in a number of different ways, including door-to-door, face-to-face in shopping centres and other public spaces, and by running adverts online and on TV. We are regulated by the Institute of Fundraising Compliance Directorate, as well as the Fundraising Regulator. We only work with ethical agencies who are also regulated by these organisations, and are as passionate and enthusiastic as we are about creating a better, more equal world for children. Our fundraisers love spreading the word about our work and getting to know you. If you see them out and about, please do stop and say hello! MEET TEAM PLAN Whether they’re running, baking or hosting a quiz night, our amazing supporters tirelessly raise money for children across the globe. If you join Team Plan, you’ll find our Community and Events staff on hand to provide ideas, inspiration and support – as well as free materials and useful guides to help you get your fundraising adventures underway. JOIN THE TEAM "We sing, we dance, we draw and we write on our boards." Fadi, 5, explains the activities she enjoys at the Early Childhood Care and Development centre she attends in Cameroon. HOW YOUR MONEY IS SPENT All children deserve an education, health care and clean water – and every child deserves the chance to thrive. Every year, we aim to spend at least 80% of our income on our charitable activities, including our emergency response work and longer-term development projects. The rest of our income goes towards our fundraising and administrative costs. READ MORE YOUR SUPPORT IS CHANGING LIVES In Guatemala, nine-year-old Jarol loves football and playing with his friends. Today, his community has a health centre and a school, thanks to Plan International. “I like receiving and sharing letters with my sponsor, because she sends me postcards from places I haven’t seen before,” he says.
