Employees of Oxford-based DialogueDirect Fundraising, which operates street fundraising
teams nationwide for a number of charities, raised more than £4,500 for the Disaster
Emergency Committees’ (DEC) Tsunami appeal during January.
DialogueDirect will be
making a donation to the DEC for every donor its fundraisers signed-up in January
2005.

Owen Watkins, DialogueDirect Fundraising’s Managing Director, said his fundraisers
had been so greatly moved and affected by the disaster they wanted to do even more
to help with the worldwide effort to raise much needed funds.

He said: “our fundraisers do the job they do because they care and want to make 
a difference. Add to this the fact many of them had friends or family travelling
or working in the affected areas, and you’ll understand the repercussions have been
felt keenly amongst our staff.”
