Setting up a fundraising page

Fundraising online is simple and effective. We recommend using JustGiving or Facebook Fundraiser as these allow your sponsors to donate and securely, making it easy for you to keep track of how much you've raised. The best part is you don't need to do any cash-collecting as the donations go straight to the charity!

Unlock the power of your donation with Gift Aid

We can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give through Gift Aid. Complete a Gift Aid declaration form and increase the value of your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you.

Different types of fundraising need to follow different rules and regulations. We've provided some information and guidance to help you.
