Friends Against Scams Organisations
Friends Against Scams (FAS) organisations come from a range of business sectors, charities and Government agencies. A FAS organisation will make a pledge to support the initiative by raising awareness. This could be through staff training, customer interaction and/or social media.

Friends Against Scams Organisation or Partner?
A Friends Against Scams Partner differs from a Friends Against Scams organisation as partners are able to benefit from a wide range of bespoke services available and commit to the initiative on a national level. National Charities can become partners for free, but commercial organisations provide sponsorship for the initiative and may also pay for bespoke work, such as campaigns or tailored training.
Whilst we would like to encourage as many organisations to join us in scams awareness work, the integrity of Friends Against Scams is of the utmost importance to us. If your organisation meets the criteria below, then we would welcome an application from you, however, please be aware that as part of the application process, we run a series of due diligence checks.
If you would like to enquire about becoming a partner, please contact us.
