Once you’ve visited JustGiving, you can follow these step-by-step instructions below to set up an account.
Once you’ve created your JustGiving page, you’ll get a link that you can send to everyone you know.
Spread the word and encourage them to donate to your cause.
Get your creative juices flowing and write an inspirational introduction to your fundraiser, whether it’s a bake sale, a coffee morning or a sponsored challenge.
This introduction will be the first thing people see when they land on your fundraising page, so keep it simple. It’s also what people will see when you share your fundraiser on social media – so making it short and compelling is important.
Talk about the cause you’re raising money for (i.e. Veterans Aid) and explain why you are motivated to support the charity’s work. What you do will make a difference so make sure your friends and family know that.

Consider your target and make sure that it is realistic before publicising it.
Having something to aim for creates momentum and involves your supporters in the journey.
Take lots of pictures and let them do the talking. Any image that helps to tell your fundraising story will bring it to life for other people and help publicise your venture.
Why does the cause mean so much to you personally? Paint a picture with words and answer the Who/What/ Why/Where/ When/ and How questions that bring your story to life for your supporters.
Keep your supporters, friends and family in the know. Regular updates will keep them engaged with how you’re doing and are a great way to show how close you’re getting to your fundraising goal.
Before your fundraising event takes place, share how you’re preparing and show how much hard work you’re putting into achieving your goal. When it’s over, share your achievement when you thank your supporters for their help.
Don’t forget to include any cash donations, as well as anything you receive by cheque, so that people can see how well you’re doing.
