Tips to help you fundraise

Here are a few tips designed to help you share your amazing challenge – Your Race Against Hunger:

  1. Tell people what you’re doing and why, letting them know how grateful you’d be for any donations to get you off to a flying start.
  2. Add a photo to your fundraising page so that it’s made more personal and also your supporters can instantly recognise your page.
  3. Add the Facebook banner attached to this email to your Facebook page so that everyone can see you are taking part in this brilliant challenge.
  4. Post an update every so often asking people to help you get to the next fundraising milestone, e.g. “Thanks everyone for helping me reach £100! Can anyone help me get to £150? [link to your page here]”.
  5. Thank people publicly on social media for their donation.
  6. Shout about your training including a link to your fundraising page e.g. “Just back from a 2k training run, furthest I have ever run. Your support really motivates me to get out there! [link to your page here]”.
  7. Payday or towards the end of the month is a good time to ask for donations.

Top Tip: Take a photo of your trainers and post it on Facebook with the link to your fundraising page. Let everyone know about the brilliant challenge that you are taking part in.
