My doorbell rang a little while ago and I asked who it was. A male voice said ?The Children?s Deaf Society?. I said no thanks and he left. I did not see what he looked like. Making doorstep calls for a charity in these times seems very peculiar and I felt it was a way of seeing if anyone was in. Anyone else had this?

The Children's Deaf Society do do Door to Door visits.


A National Deaf Children?s Society fundraiser can be identified by:


Their identification badge, which has their name and ID number on it.

The tablet computer or clipboard they are holding so they can take down your details.

Our fundraisers ask for a regular monthly commitment in the form of a direct debit. To do this, they will ask you for address details and your bank account details. We do not fundraise for one-off contributions in our face-to face fundraising, but if you would prefer to provide a one-off contribution, then you can make one.

Important to assure any visitor is a genuine fund raiser.

This afternoon someone knocked my door, I sent my LO to ask who it was.

He asked without opening the door of course & the guy said he was from green peace.

My son said sorry my mums not here

The guy sounded baffled (possibly because of my sons young sounding voice)

But I definitely didn't hear him knock on my neighbours' door which was what baffled me!

Sometimes they go in pairs and knock on alternate doors so you won't necessarily hear the one leaving you knocking on your neighbours door.


We had them too yesterday and the phone calls have started for donations - it must be a very difficult time for charities.

    • Indeed ianr, I didn't have time to include all Royal Mail options, thanks for that extra bit, they have been spot on for me, I use them a lot and have never had any issues with delivery, touch wood!
    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
