our commitment to charity
Everyone who visits friends and relations.com has the opportunity to make a real difference to the quality of life of others. This is achieved through direct links to charities from our website, with 100% of funds being received by the charity nominated.
When a charity is nominated it is shown on that person’s page on our website. Before launching this service we spent many hours meeting with senior representatives of some the UK’s leading charities who helped us create this service for charities as a whole. We would like to thank these charities - as shown below - for their time, expertise and advice.
If there is a charity that you would like to support that is not listed then after a celebration page has been created please telephone our support team - +44 (0) 1872 226800 who will take the details, get in touch with the charity and make the appropriate link.
