Delighted with the service!

Delighted with the service. Very easy to order. This was bought as a birthday gift and has just been handed to the recipient. No feed back yet from them but I’m sure it will be positive. It was delivered promptly and I was very pleased with the card and the printing. Will certainly use your service again.

Wondering how Dulce is doing.

I was just wondering what my sponsor child was doing and looked at the My Sponsorship. I will be sending letter and photos. I’m glad that she is doing well.

I found it difficult to use the website…

I found it difficult to use the website to order a Must Have Gift. I wanted to go back and change the order from a regular delivery to an e-card, but found o way to go back. So ai cancelled and started again. Then having selected e-card, I was still asked for the physical address to send it to under delivery. This confused me, as I would have thought that if e-card was selected, the buyer would not be asked for their address, but only their email address.

Anyhow, the card was duly delivered by email, so all was fine eventually.

Thank you

Supportive, informative and excellent

This is an excellent way to help people in difficult circumstances. The ability to access information about one's sponsored child is well presented and clear. In this uncertain and unbalanced world, we should all be using something like World Vision, to level up the inequalities.

I really enjoy receiving regular news…

I really enjoy receiving regular news of my sponsored child, especially the photos and videos that Worldvision UK posts online.
I feel priviledged to take part in this great work Worldvision carries out for vulnerable children worldwide.
It is nice to be appreciated.
All the best !

Good communication with sponsors

World Vision has good communication with its child sponsors. There are regular updates and videos, reminders to send birthday and Christmas cards. The website is easy to use and being able to send letters, photos etc online is very convenient.

Privacy

"By giving us your information you agree to be contacted by World Vision about our work"

I should be able to sign a petition and not be contacted afterwards. My email is overflowing and while I support the work of charities like World Vision, I reserve a right to live free from their emails. My resources are limited too and if I have enough energy, I can always find the information myself.

Great selection of gifts

I recently purchased 2 gifts, to celebrate the arrival of new babies. This was to encourage them, as they grow, to know the joy of their arrival, benefitted another family. Both gifts joyously received.

Tracking

I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to track the arrival of my purchase in a simple way. I didn’t want to download another app to do it
