Keep well clear of this outfit Keep well clear of this outfit. They mix genuine causes with ones on their own political agenda and certainly would never be accepted as a UK charity. Shame as they had good intentions when they started but like all organisations appear to have lost their way

Donations without my permission In 2017 I did a small monthly donation so they had my creditcard. By 2022 I saw that it ended up in 5 different monthly donations of campaings I have never heard of. I was donating almost 30 euro each month not being aware of it. I have signed some petitions trough the years but not given permission to donation. When I contacted them they refunded me directly for the last year, but not longer than that. I think it's criminal what they are doing so never give them your creditcard and check your account carefully!

I think Avaaz potentially does good… I think Avaaz potentially does good work, but they seem to intentionally make it near impossible to contact them. They make it very easy to setup donations, but then now way to stop them. Their website, offers no contact information at all. Their help page say to click on the pink button below to contact us. There is no pink button. this it too big an organization to have such a poorly designed website if it is unintentional.

Although people have signed petitions… Although people have signed petitions in front of me and gone through the process of verifying, they are not a robot. The application does not update with their signature nor does it increase the ticker as to the number of people signing the petition!

Be careful when signing a donation My advise is be very careful when donating. Like some others I authorized a one-off donation and the amount has been taken off my account every month ever since. The biggest problem is that when I access my account to view the donations there is no record of them, the only way to try and cancel the charge is via a contact form and it seems wrong - you should be able to view and manage your donations within the account. I emailed and used the contact form and since there has been no answer I had no choice but cancel my card.
