Important Notice: Door-to-Door Canvassing Alert – 07/08 

8th August 2025

We have been made aware that an individual impersonating a St Barnabas nurse has been going door-to-door in the community, falsely claiming to represent our charity and asking residents to set up a Direct Debit to purchase raffle tickets. This individual is not affiliated with St Barnabas Hospice.

We take this matter very seriously and are working closely with the authorities to address it. If you are approached by anyone claiming to represent St Barnabas and you have concerns about their authenticity, please report it to the police immediately. You can also contact Engage and Connect for verification and support, on 01628 306 541 or info@engageconnect.co.uk.

To help protect our supporters, please note that St Barnabas currently has two official door-to-door canvassers promoting St Barnabas Lottery only, whose names and photographs can be found on our website: https://stbarnabashospice.co.uk/lottery/.

All wear St Barnabas branded lanyards with official photo ID and canvas during daytime working hours.

For your reference, photos of our legitimate canvassers will be listed on the website.

Incident number: NRFC250807540599
