Sharing your experiences with us

Your personal information
You may share information with us about your experience of the support you and your family receive, or have received, from Leeannas Wish or the fundraising or volunteering activity you have carried out for us. -
What we collect
Families and supporters kindly let us use images, video content and their case studies to help bring our fundraising and campaign activity to life. These could include details about the experiences they have had.
-
What we do with it
We keep this information stored securely and will only use them with the subject’s permission. The safety of our supporters and participants is very important to us. If we display a case study we do not display their personal or contact details unless we have permission to do so.

Why we need it
To promote Leeannas Wish, we use photos of children and families we support for our fundraising, charity literature and media purposes where consent has been discussed and agreed. By featuring photos and stories we can engage with people in a much more tangible and visual way. The photos and stories express what we do from the families who know us best and help us in our efforts to seek support for the charity.

How long we keep it
We keep this information for two years after consent has been given, unless specified otherwise, after which time it is archived or further permission is requested
