A few fundraising tips from Virgin Money Giving!
Make sure your fundraising page is compelling and explains your motivation.
Time your donation request as people are more likely to be generous with their sponsorship after payday.
Don’t forget to ask for Gift Aid as it means more money goes to your charity.
Ask close friends and family to donate first as other people may then match their generosity.
