Support us while celebrating your special occasion, by dedicating your birthday, wedding or milestone to us. Set up a special fundraising page, ask for donations and help support the work we do here in the East Midlands.

However you decide to support us while celebrating, please make sure you do so in line with current social distancing guidance for your area.

 

One of the simplest and easiest ways to fundraise is to set up an online sponsorship page with JustGiving, who are our preferred online sponsorship platform.

Your colleagues, friends and family can donate to your page instantly through the secure online system. The money you raise is sent automatically, so you don’t need to do anything.

What’s more by using JustGiving, we can reclaim the Gift Aid on donations made by UK tax payers, making donations worth 25p more for each £1 given – at no extra cost.

As the money is taken from the donors account as soon as they sponsor you, there is no need to chase sponsors after the event.

And by sharing your page through social media and email you can reach all those friends, family and colleagues you don’t see every day.
