Fundraising privacy notice

Who we are

Woodlands Hospice Charitable Trust and its subsidiaries:

  • Woodlands Hospice registered charity number 1048934
  • Woodlands Hospice Charitable Trust Limited registered company number 3063721
  • Woodlands Ltd registered company number 03278425

Our registered address is Woodlands Hospice Charitable Trust, Aintree University Hospital Campus, Longmoor Lane, Liverpool L9 7LA.

Woodlands Hospice is committed to protecting your personal information and privacy and being transparent with what we do with it.

When you provide or we collect information by which you can be identified, it will only be used in accordance with our privacy notice (see our full Privacy Notice – Link to be inserted) and all applicable laws concerning data protection of personal information.  https://­ico.­org.­uk/­for-organisations/­guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 is a new regulation which replaces the Data Protection Regulation (Directive 95­/46/EC).  The Regulation aims to harmonise data protection legislation across EU member states, enhancing privacy rights for individuals and providing a strict framework within which organisations can legally operate.

Hospice fundraising is proving very challenging whilst we try to meet more demands on our services in the current health climate. However we at Woodlands Hospice are making sure that all our fundraising is honest, legal and fair - just the way it always has been.

We at Woodlands Hospice are confident that our fundraising is ethical and legal, and assure our supporters that they are able to give in confidence.

Woodlands Hospice promises to adhere to best practice, honesty, transparency, clarity and accountability in all fundraising activity. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adhere to their Fundraising Promise, which you can view and download here.

Fundraising

Our fundraisers understand more than anyone else how important it is to maintain the trust and confidence of our supporters. It is due to hard work, expertise and commitment that even in these difficult times, the generosity of local people is ensuring Woodlands Hospice care can continue.

Despite the fact that we receive some NHS funding towards parts of the care we give to our patients and their family, we are generally dependent on donations from our local community to help the running expenses for Woodlands Hospice.

We request that supporters help us by giving donations, participate in our events, arranging your own particular events, joining  our lottery, supporting our charity shops by volunteering, donating and purchasing goods, amongst  a significant number of the ways you can get involved in.

We use four fundraising databases to store appropriate personal information:

  • McAzure: for charity shops' gift aid declarations
  • Sterling: for lottery members and ticket sales
  • DonorFlex & Enthuse: for donations, events and Gift Aid declarations

When you start supporting us, we will give you the choice of how you would like to hear from us:

  • Post
  • Telephone
  • Email
  • SMS/Text

We also give you the choice of what you wish to receive:

  • Newsletters
  • Appeals/­Campaigns
  • Hospice Events
  • Legacies/Wills
  • Lottery/Raffles
  • Christmas Gifts/Cards
