Whatever event you will be doing, you can set up a personal fundraising page using the JustGiving website.

Making the most of your page

Here are some hints and tips to make the most of your online page.

  • Personalise your page
    Add your own photo and text. You can change these as often as you like.
  • Promote your page
    Send the link round, add it to your personal email auto signature, use the justgiving widget on a blog, FaceBook or MySpace page. Let everyone know what a great thing you’re doing!
  • Update your page
    Change the text to let people know how your training or fundraising is going, then email your contacts each time you update it.
  • Make it fun
    Encourage your sponsors to use the comments box or put a funny photo on your page.

Did you know?

Justgiving isn’t just for sponsored events. You can set up a page instead of collecting donations at a social fundraising event, or for a personal occasion like a birthday or wedding, or in memory of a loved one.
