Refund Process

To request a refund, please fill out our contact form with the following information:

• Reason for the refund request

Refunds will be issued within 30 days of receiving a valid refund request. Refunds will be made via the original payment method. All refund requests are subject to review by our finance department.

When would we consider returning a donation?

We would return a donation if money had been taken in error. Examples include:

• If a donor has double-clicked on the online payment page and the donation had been processed twice.
• If they clicked on a recurring donation in error and it should have been once-off.
• If an additional zero was added in error to the donation, or the wrong amount was processed.
• If there is a technical error on our online payment forms that caused donations to be taken in error.
• If a donor feels that they were misled by our Face-to-Face Fundraisers.

Exceptions: Online Competition Tickets

Please note: All ticket purchases for our online competitions are final and non-refundable.
