Poor Response

The company did not respond to either the telephone number or the messaging system. Normally I make one off payments to charities rather than Direct Debits. In this case I had alledgedly agreed a DD but I have been unable to establish the facts so I just cancelled it.

Hello Neil,

We are sorry to hear about your experience and for the confusion around the Direct Debit.

We have reviewed our records and can see that you emailed us at the end of March. We replied at the beginning of April with details of the charity linked to the donation, but we are sorry if that response did not reach you.

We understand that Direct Debits can be concerning if the details are unclear, and we would be happy to look into this again for you. Please contact us and we will do our best to help.

Regards,
People’s Fundraising

Non-user friendly web site for charity managers

I've been using PF for several years to collect my charity's donations and always found the website for admin confusing, but the new website is even more non-user friendly.
I just want to write a brief update for donors but it's so difficult!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest feedback — we really do appreciate it. We understand that with a platform as feature-rich as Peoples Fundraising, the admin area can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re just trying to complete one simple task like posting a donor update.

Our goal is to provide the widest range of fundraising tools available to charities, and while that flexibility is a huge benefit, we recognise it can take a little time to get familiar with everything. We’ve received great feedback from users who dive deeper into the platform and discover how powerful the control panel can be for managing fundraising, reporting, and communications.

To help make things easier, we’ve created step-by-step videos on our YouTube channel:

including a control panel walkthrough here:

We also host a friendly weekly Q&A session where charity and non-profit professionals can ask questions and get live support from our team — you can register here:

Your feedback genuinely helps us improve, and we’d love to support you in getting the most from the platform — please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime.

Warm regards,
The Peoples Fundraising Team

Uncertainty through the whole process

People's Fundraising was recommended from the charity I was supporting.

I set up my page, which was quite straight forward but from that point it was very confusing.

I found it hard to navigate the website and had to go around the houses each time I wanted to view my fundraiser because it didn't show on my fundraising wall.

I did phone PF but the number showed linked to a different business which made me a bit nervous. The person was helpful who I spoke to but I feel the process could have been a lot easier.

I them completed my fundraising with no idea when the money would be sent to my charity. I sent two emails to PF asking how I would know the money would be transferred and if I would get confirmation.

The replies were very limited and advised the money would be automatically transferred (no further details provided) and that I should contact my charity for more details.

It makes me very uneasy that the money I have raised and people have kindly donated is just sat in PF account until an unknown date to myself. A very small amount of reassurance or acknowledgment that I will be told when the money is transferred would have been appreciated.

I would not use this platform again, there is too much uncertainty around it and I remain unsure what is happening with the funds I raised.

I don't know if I was meant to do anything, like close the fundraising page, which I know have but I remain very worried about the money and that nothing will happen to it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience was confusing and did not provide the reassurance you needed while fundraising. Your comments about navigation, communication, and clarity around fund transfers are extremely helpful, and we appreciate you raising them.

To address this directly, we have now added an explicit message to the user login area to make the process clearer for all fundraisers. It states:

“When you raise money for your supported organisations, they can receive the funds as frequently as daily or monthly. Your charities do not need to wait for your fundraiser to end — the money you raise is transferred to them automatically. There is nothing you need to do once your fundraiser is finished.”

We understand how important it is for fundraisers to feel confident about where their donations are and when charities will receive them. Your feedback has directly contributed to improving this clarity for everyone using the platform.

Thank you again for supporting your charity, and for helping us improve People’s Fundraising. If you have any further concerns, we’re here to help.

Highly recommend.

We have used Peoples Fundraising for a number of years for our Charity and have always found them exceptionally helpful. We have learned many ways to fundraise but also how to use the behind the scene tools to better manage income, required accounting reports, gift aid etc. Any query is addressed swiftly and you can often get a response when other companies have clocked off! Highly recommend.

I am deeply disappointed and alarmed by your customer service. Once again, funds raised by our organization in June are being withheld without any prior warning. We are a charity based in Uganda, fundraising to support children who cannot afford basic necessities, and delays like this seriously affect our work. We cannot log in to any of your platforms, and there is literally no support or help available. Your emails claim notifications were sent, yet we have received nothing, and there has been no apology or acknowledgment of the issue. This is extremely concerning and unacceptable.

Dear Dana,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the stress this situation has caused. We understand how important timely payouts are for the vital work your organization does, and we appreciate the impact delays can have.

To clarify, we have emailed the primary contact on your account more than 10 times since February 2025—along with several follow-ups—to inform you about recent changes to our payout process required by UK government regulations. It may be worth checking whether these messages are being received or filtered, as they contain important information needed to avoid interruptions.

We also appreciate the conversations we’ve had with you via our email support line previously regarding payout issues, and we remain committed to supporting you through this transition.

If you’re still unable to access your account or have questions about the payout updates, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can always contact us at support@peoplesfundraising.com
or by phone at 0330 043 3454. We’re here to help and want to ensure everything is resolved as smoothly as possible.

Kind regards,
Support Team

Amazingly flexible fundraising platform for charities

Really flexible fundraising platform which gives amazing opportunity for charities to go beyond just standard donation asks of their supporters. The team at People's Fundraising have been so great at getting us through all the steps to have our own branded site using this platform. Their ongoing support and sharing of ideas to enhance our fundraising activity and experience using the platform is really helpful.

Horrible captchas

Horrible captchas enough to put off any potential donors. Want to connect via horrible social media channels that are Facebook and X. User name isn't my email as normal so my login kept failing.

Biggest down mark is for the captchas that make you click on squares. I HATE them.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience was frustrating. We understand that ReCAPTCHA challenges can be inconvenient at times. However, they are an important part of our security controls to help protect your data and prevent automated abuse of our platform.

Regarding your login experience, we appreciate you highlighting the confusion around the username. While many platforms default to email-based logins, our system uses a different identifier to cater users who support multiple non-profits.

We also acknowledge your concerns about social media. While platforms like Facebook and X are commonly used for engagement and support, we understand they’re not everyone’s preference and are continually exploring alternative ways to connect.

PTA online raffle success!

We used People’s fundraising for an online raffle. Nathan helped answer our questions which gave us the confidence to get it up and running quite quickly.
The portal was a little clunky with loading the first few prizes but then we got into a rhythm of using it. Very professional visually and helped us reach a wider audience. Thankyou for the support!

Great platform, lots of functionality

Having connected Nathan at People's Fundraising for support setting up our projects, I'm so impressed by the way this platform actually supports charities.

We currently use it for Raffles, but will be picking up more and more to allow us to streamline our income streams and provide a smoother customer journey.

Looking forward to working on a really great fundraising platform.
