However you choose to fundraise, the following tips are invaluable in helping your achieve your target:

Set up a justgiving page. Visit our online fundraising pages for more information about how you can make the most out of your page
Set up an online sweepstake on your finishing time - or anything else - at Guess to Give
Create a fundraising plan. Planning makes perfect! The more time you give yourself, the more you will enjoy fundraising. Breaking down a big target into small chunks makes it much easier to see what you will need to do to reach your goal
Find out if your company offers matched giving. This could double your fundraising income without you doubling your fundraising effort!
Carry your sponsorship form or a card with the link to your justgiving page with you wherever you go - ask anyone you meet to sponsor you!
Always make sure that your sponsors tick the gift aid box. If your sponsors are UK tax payers, their donations will be worth 25% more to us - at no cost to you or to them
