How to Get Started with Your Fundraising
Organising your own fundraiser is super easy! Just follow these simple steps:
1. Choose your fundraiser
Whether it’s a sponsored walk, bake sale, or even karaoke… pick something you’ll enjoy–it doesn’t need to be fancy!
2. Set up a fundraising page
Use online platforms like JustGiving, GoFundMe. or contact us for a fundraising pack–we’ll be happy to send one digitally or via post.
3. Shout about it
Share your fundraiser on social media, tell friends and family, and spread the word.
4. Let’s get fundraising!
Enjoy your event, knowing that every donation is making a real difference to your local community.
5. Donate your funds
Once your fundraiser is complete, send your donations to us easily online or via bank transfer. For more information on how to donate, click here.
Make your gift go further – At no extra cost to you!
By saying yes to Gift Aid, you help us do even more with your donation. Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows us, as a registered charity, to reclaim 25p for every £1 you donate – at no extra cost to you. That means your generosity goes even further, helping us make a bigger impact with every gift you give.
