About UrbanLeaf:

We’re only a small company, but that’s deliberate; we want to focus on the needs of our fundraisers and the charities with whom we work, rather than the bottom line. 

We’ve been around since 2003 which means we are the longest running street fundraising agency in the UK! There’s a huge amount of experience behind the training and support you’ll therefore be given.
