To fundraise as a group, set up a Team Giving Page and invite your group members to link their pages. A Team Page lets everyone see what you’re all up to, and the best part: Giving Pages within a team raise twice as much money as those not in a team!
Each person will still have their own fundraising target, but you can combine this total for your team goal.
Your entry fee covers the cost of putting on the event. It’s your sponsorship that goes towards our life-saving research, which is why we ask everyone to try and reach their fundraising target.
If you’re struggling with your fundraising, please get in touch; there’s lots we can do to help.
