Fundraising Complaints Procedure:
Milford Care Centre is committed to ensuring that all our communications and dealings with the general public and supporters of our fundraising activities are of the highest possible standard. We listen and respond to the voices of the general public and our supporters so that we can continue to improve.
Milford Care Centre welcomes all feedback, positive or negative.
We aim to ensure:
- It is easy to make a complaint
- We treat any clear expression of dissatisfaction with our operations which calls for a response as a complaint
- We treat it seriously whether it is made by telephone, letter, fax, email or in person
- We deal with it in an efficient, polite manner
- We respond accordingly for example with an explanation, or an apology or some form of relevant address where we have got things wrong and information on any action taken
- We learn from complaints, use them to improve and monitor them at organisational level
