Complaints — Helm Campaigns
Feedback and complaints

We want to hear from you

If something about your experience with a Helm Campaigns fundraiser didn't feel right, we want to know. We take all feedback seriously — it helps us maintain the standards our charity clients and the public deserve. This page explains how to raise a concern and what happens next.

Registered with the Fundraising Regulator What you can raise with us

Conduct on site

Concerns about how a fundraiser approached you — including pressure, misleading information, or inappropriate behaviour.

Your sign-up or direct debit

If you feel you weren't given clear information about what you were signing up to, or have questions about a direct debit you've set up.

Gift Aid

If Gift Aid was collected incorrectly or you were given inaccurate information about your eligibility as a taxpayer.

Anything else

If something else felt wrong, please tell us. We'd rather hear about it than not.
