Connect with potential supporters by sharing…

STEP 2

Choose your fundraising goal

RAISE UP TO 17% MORE

Choosing your fundraising target gives people a goal to get behind, so don’t be afraid to go big! If you’re getting active for your charity (like running a race), your charity should be able to help guide you on what you should be aiming for. Remember, you can always increase your fundraising target as you go.

Here are some creative ideas to get started:

Celebrating your 60th birthday? Set your target at £60.
Running a marathon (26.2 miles) for a good cause? Why not set your target at £2,620?

step 3

Add pictures and videos

RAISE UP TO 23% MORE

The first thing your supporters will see is your photo selection, so the more the merrier. Our top tip? Choose a bold, standout cover photo, as this is also what people will see when your share your page on social media.

Want to get creative? Try using simple online tools like Canva or Pixlr to edit photos and videos.

step 4

Post updates to your page

RAISE UP TO 8% MORE

Every milestone matters! From your first donation to the end of your fundraising and everything in between. Use your page update as your diary, people love to see what you’ve been up to.

step 5

Personalise your thank-you message.

Add a personal touch to your donors by editing your thank-you message. This is also included when we send your donors their email receipt. Manners go a long way – you never know, the person you thank may just donate again!
