Promote your event

Set up an online fundraising page

Setting up an online fundraising page with JustGiving is one of the quickest and easiest ways to share what you're doing, and collect donations from friends and family. Set your fundraising target, add your story, photo(s) and details about your event, and share your page on your social media channels.

Word of mouth

Tell people about your fundraiser, reach out to family, friends, neighbours and colleagues. Think about who else you know, parents on the school run, anybody you know through local activities or club memberships. Consider how to get your message out there. It could be through face-to-face chat, sticking up posters, handing out leaflets, sharing your fundraiser on your work’s intranet channel.

Share your event on social media

Social media is about engaging with people and sharing information, making it one of the best promotional tools for your fundraiser. Social media platforms make it quick and easy to share fundraising stories, news and successes for free. Sharing any personal reasons for organising your fundraiser can also help people to connect.

Post regularly

In the lead up to your fundraising event, try to post weekly updates with details of how you are doing, details of any training you are doing, how much sponsorship you have raised so far. This helps to build anticipation for your event and keeps it top of people's minds. Change your photos regularly and mix up your posts with different visuals; posts, stories, videos and reels.

Tell your friends and family

Ask them to share details of your fundraising event with people they know to canvass support.

Make a donation to your own event

This gets your fundraising started and shows others that you are invested in this worthwhile cause.
