Hello. Over the past few weeks. we've been working with Plan UK to help them spread the word about their child sponsorship programme and to get some feedback on this for them.

While lots of Mumsnetters have been interested, Plan UK haven't found as many new child sponsors as they were hoping for. We're a bit surprised by this, tbh, and both we and Plan UK are really keen to find out why.

So, we're now asking you to take a couple of minutes to watch this video in which a MNer shares her thoughts about her sponsorship of a child through Plan UK.

And then we'd like you, please, to help Plan UK by posting (on this thread) what you think of the video and of the campaign.

Any feedback you can give is most welcome - and we'll be passing it on to Plan UK to help them when they're planning future campaigns.

So please watch the video and read a bit more the campaign on our Plan UK pages and add your thoughts to this thread.

Everyone who adds a thought will be entered into a prize draw, from which one winner will win a £100 Amazon voucher.

And, of course, if you'd like to sponsor a child either for yourself (or as a gift for your children or someone else), then please do sign up here.

Thanks, MNHQ

Hello. We've just been contacted by PlanUK, who want to address the issues that tiredfeet raised on this thread. They've asked us to post up the following:

"tiredfeet, We're so sorry to hear you have had a disappointing experience with Plan. We take complaints extremely seriously and we were concerned to hear this.

"We would like to thank you so much for your interest in the campaign and for donating to our girls fund. We wanted to call everyone who donated to say thank you and to tell you more about the campaign. If we were unable to reach you, then we would have tried to call you again as we hoped to speak to as many people as possible. However, this should not have been to a level that was disruptive and please accept our apologies for this. If you were able to let us know more details about yourself, we could investigate this further to check whether any malpractice took place.

"Please be assured that we are determined to run things as efficiently as possible (70,000 volunteers worldwide help us to do so). At least 80p in every pound we spend is spent on supporting and developing our development work and only 20 pence is spent on administration and on raising a further pound."
