Telemarketing

Text

As part of our fundraising and supporter engagement strategy, Hospice UK engages in telemarketing.

Telemarketing is an effective way of engaging with supporters who have agreed to learn more about our work, how they can support Hospice UK and ultimately help us achieve our vision of Hospice care for all, for now, forever.

Our outbound telemarketing is conducted by Stratcom UK. The Stratcom team are fully trained and understand the importance of Hospice UK’s work. They are members of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and follow the fundraising regulator's code of conduct.

For your peace of mind, calls made by Stratcom will show up on your phone from this number: 020 3151 0279. Please be assured that Hospice UK abides by UK GDPR and the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Our Privacy Policy can be found here.

If you have any questions regarding telephone calls or why we work with third party organisations, please send an email to fundraising@hospiceuk.org
