Promote your fundraising

Whether you’re simply asking for sponsorship or organising a large fundraising event, it’s always a good idea to let everyone know what you are doing to help increase the amount of money you raise.


Tell your friends and family

The people closest to you are the most likely to donate, so be sure to let them know what you’re doing. You can do this by sending emails, messages or posting details on your social media accounts.

Don’t forget to include a link to your JustGiving or Enthuse fundraising page.


Social media

Social media platforms allow you to spread the word about your fundraising activities quickly throughout your network.

  • Share your fundraising page with everyone
  • Like us on , follow us on  and tag @maggiescentres in your posts and we might feature you on our account
  • Follow  on X (formerly Twitter) and tag us in your tweets using #maggies
  • Follow and tag your local ¾ÞÈéÎÞÂë centre on social media too

Posters

Use posters and flyers to tell everyone about your fundraising.

Ask local shops and businesses to display your posters. (You may even be able to persuade a local printer to do the printing for free as it’s for charity!)


Local businesses

Are there any businesses local to you that might want to get involved in your fundraising?

Maybe they could profile you on their company website or intranet or display your posters on their premises.

They may even offer to donate a raffle prize or let you use their premises as a venue for your event.


After your fundraising activity

  • Thank your supporters â€“ Remember to show your gratitude to sponsors and donors for their generosity.
  • Pay in your money â€“ If you have a fundraising page, the money you raise is returned to us automatically, so you don’t need to do anything more! If you fundraised offline then take a look at our Pay in your fundraising page for information on how to return your fundraising.
  • Shout out about it â€“ Let your local papers know about your fundraising activities and how much you raised!
