Get the Net to boost your charity fundraising

Running for charity, or put off by the hassle of fundraising? There's a simple and smart solution: a FREE sponsorship page on the Internet! It's easy and takes just a minute at:

The Big Fun Run has teamed up with award-winning charity donation service Justgiving to let every runner collect donations securely online.

You do not have to be a Web wizard to fundraise online: setting up a sponsorship page is easy and takes a minute. Then your friends, family and colleagues can visit it and make a donation or pledge with a credit or debit card.

Your sponsorship page is much more flexible than the usual dog-eared sponsorship forms: you can monitor your total at any time, update your page with your latest training news and receive donations from anywhere in the world.

The system makes life easier for charities, runners and sponsors.

Unlike traditional pledges, online donations are banked immediately, and an extra 28% in reclaimed Gift Aid tax is automatically added to every donation made by UK taxpayers at no cost or effort to you or your sponsors. Charities can register now by calling 08000 286183.

Justgiving.com is fast, efficient and effective:

A unique memorable web address - such as www.justgiving.com/yourname - is a great for fundraising.
