We’re committed to communicating with our supporters in the best ways possible. However, if we ever do not meet our own high standards, we want to hear about it. If you have a complaint, we want to make it easy to communicate it to us and respond to your comments as quickly as possible.
We treat any expression of dissatisfaction with our activities which calls for a response, as a complaint. We listen to your comments, treat them seriously and learn from them so that we can continuously improve our programmes and fundraising activities and communications across our website, newsletters and social media.

How we deal with complaints
We will work as quickly as possible to resolve complaints and will keep you informed throughout the process. Please feel free when contacting us about a complaint, to let us know how you think it could be resolved. We will listen, record your complaint and advise you how it will be handled. We will investigate whenever necessary. If the complaint involves a member of staff or volunteer, we will not divulge the name of the complainant during an investigation unless we are specifically given your permission to do so. The complaint will be treated confidentially and all the data will be kept safely and lately destroyed following the GDPR regulation. We will take action to resolve the problem and tell you what that action is. We will take steps to avoid a repeat occurrence. Please bear in mind that Malaria Consortium is a charity with limited resources and must use these in the most efficient way. Therefore, we can only respond to complaints regarding concerns directly linked to Malaria Consortium.
What if our response does not satisfy you?
If your complaint is in relation to fundraising and we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you can refer it to the Fundraising Regulator, the independent regulator of charitable fundraising of which Malaria Consortium is a member. They can be contacted via their website www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk or at 2nd floor, CAN Mezzanine Building, 49-51 East Road, London, U.K.
For other complaints not linked to fundraising, you have recourse to the online complaint form at the Charity Commission www.charitycommission.gov.uk
