Cold Calling

Bbc Radio 4
About this episode

Ian McDowell experiences misery working in a cold calling centre to raise money for charities and questions this method of fund-raising.

"How much of this do the charities, who spend millions of pounds every year on these dubious methods, really know, or want to know, about this sometimes sordid business? And why on earth should their supporters put up with it?"

Producer: Sheila Cook.
