February may be the shortest month of the year, but it’s packed with opportunities to make a big impact.
As we move through the colder weeks, motivation can sometimes dip but this is also when our cause needs us most. Every donation, conversation, and shared story helps keep momentum going and ensures vital support continues for those affected by breast and other cancers.
With training about to start for The MoonWalk London, now is the perfect time to get your fundraising page match-ready! A well-prepared page can make a huge difference to how much sponsorship you receive.
Lets get started:
- Upload a photo – Let supporters see who they’re cheering for
- Tell your story – Why are you taking on this challenge? What does it mean to you?
- Set your target – The minimum is £200, but many people raise far more
- Personalise your challenges – Make them unique and share updates as you tick them off
- Download the CharityGo app – Turn your phone into a card reader so people can donate instantly
Top Tip: Add your fundraising page QR code to your social media, posters, or even homemade “business cards.” It’s an easy way for people to donate when you’re out and about! (You’ll find your QR code at the bottom of your fundraising page.)
