Fundraising: How to get started

Once you have decided to take part in an event, the next step is to plan how to reach your fundraising target!

From quiz nights to cake sales, there are many ways to raise funds and above all, it should be fun! For more ideas and inspiration to help get you started, download the fundraising ideas factsheet.

Create an online fundraising page

An easy way to get started is to set up an online fundraising page through the online giving website justgiving. You can set up a page in minutes, personalise it with your own message and photo then email the link to your friends, family and colleagues. It’s that simple!

For more details about justgiving and how to set up your own page, download the justgiving factsheet.
