St John & the need for regular support

- Why does St John do face to face fundraising?
Face to face fundraising is one of the most cost effective ways that charities like St John can gain substantial support for important funding needs.
Our St John face to face fundraisers are a committed group of people passionate about St John. Every day they speak to New Zealanders about the important role the public plays in supporting St John frontline services.
St John has partnered with a leading face to face fundraising agency, Cornucopia. This partnership plays an important role in helping St John meet the rising demand for frontline services.
- How can I identify a St John fundraiser?
Authorised St John Team Green fundraisers will:
- Be wearing a dark green polo shirt with Team Green badges on the sleeves and/or a black winter jacket with St John branding
- Display a Cornucopia ID card with their name, photo and St John contact information
- Provide all new Team Green members with a welcome pack
- Never ask for, or accept, cash donations
