Information for supporters

Our supporters passion, commitment and loyalty helps change the lives of thousands of people experiencing homelessness every year.

We’re so grateful for everything you do, whether that’s donating, fundraising, volunteering, campaigning, or visiting one of our shops. If you’ve got a question, we want to help. And if you think we might have done something wrong, then we want to hear about it.

How to give feedback or make a complaint

If you wish to make a complaint, please contact our Supporter Care team on:

The Supporter Care team pride themselves on delivering outstanding customer service and set themselves high standards.

If we receive a complaint from you, we’ll aim to get back to you within 2 working days. If we cannot answer your complaint at that time, we'll get in touch to inform you of the action we are taking and the expected time it will take to respond to your concerns. We will consider your views and how you think Crisis should resolve your concerns. Each complaint is handled personally, and we aim to answer all the concerns you raise.

 

Information for members 

We would rather you told us about something that you don’t feel is right or not working properly, than kept it to yourself.   We value your views and opinions and want to provide services that are as good as possible. 

How to give feedback or make a complaint

  • Verbally – in person or by phone

  • In writing – in an email, a letter or note, or on the Crisis Complaints, Compliments and Suggestions Form*

Contact details for your local Skylight centre can be found using our Get Help section.

Support to give your feedback

If you are a Crisis member, please feel free to ask a Crisis member of staff, a volunteer or member representative for help to give your feedback.  We are also happy to receive feedback, including complaints, from a worker from another organisation or someone else acting on your behalf. 

Regulatory bodies

We’re confident that we’ll be able to resolve your complaint quickly. However, if you feel that your concern has not been sufficiently resolved you may choose to escalate further.

If your complaint is about fundraising, you can contact the Fundraising Regulator.

If your concerns relate to data protection or your personal information, your complaint may be redirected to our Data Protection Officer. You can contact them directly in writing to the address above or by emailing data.protection@crisis.org.uk. If you are still unhappy, you can escalate to the ICO

Please get in touch with the Charity Commission or the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (for Crisis activities in Scotland) if your concerns relate to: 

  • Dishonest handling of funds
  • Misapplication of funds
  • Actions that contravene the Crisis trust deed or charity law
  • Actions that threaten to bring Crisis into disrepute
