Your individual page lets your supporters see who you are and that you’re taking part as part of a team. Your team page brings everyone together, so supporters can also see who else is in your team and how much you’re raising together.
Your supporters can choose how they donate:
- Donate to your individual page – donations made using the Give Now button on your individual page will count towards your personal fundraising total and will also be included in your team’s total.
- Donate to your team page – donations made directly to the team page are shared equally between everyone in the team by our system and will count towards each team member’s fundraising total.
Donations made directly to the team page will not appear as individual donations on your personal page, but the amount allocated to you will be included in your fundraising total once the event is closed. Should you want any donations moved between your team or individual page please contact our fundraising team here.
Your individual page and team page work together to make it easy for you and your supporters to see who’s taking part and how much you’re raising together.
