Supporter stewardship

Retention

 

Thank you for this - it's good to see the cumulative effect of small actions. I'll keep looking out for your emails and respond quickly.

 

I support nearly 20 charities and often feel overwhelmed by the volume of requests for help from them. Your recent communication with a review of what I have helped you to achieve over the past year gives me some comfort that the little I do does help to make a difference.

 

So touched by this little video. Seriously I feel I've done so little - am so enormously grateful for what you are doing.

I'm going to set up a regular donation to your organisation - can't afford mega-bucks, but every little helps.
