We welcome any feedback that you can give us about our fundraising activity. Although we strive for the highest possible standards in our fundraising, we rely on our supporters to let us know when we can do better, or if we’ve made a mistake.

Here are the ways in which you can let us know what you think:

Talk to a member of the Charity Team about your complaint

If you have a complaint, they will do their best to resolve any issue. If they cannot, or do not, resolve the matter to your satisfaction they will refer your complaint to the Complaints Coordinator who will follow the Charity’s complaints procedure.

Email the Charity with details of your complaint

Please email charity.complaints@mft.nhs.uk  about your complaint. This will be directed to our Complaints Coordinator for action. We would be grateful if you would include your full name, address and phone number and full detail of your complaint. This will enable our team to respond as quickly as possible.

If you would like to write to us to complain, please address all correspondence to:
