JustGiving’s top ten fundraising tips

Fundraisers with pictures on their page raise 14% more per photo. A legitimate excuse for a #selfie.

Been out training or have some news about your fundraising? Post an update to keep your friends interested.

Pages with a target raise 46% more. Be brave and tell the world what you’re aiming for.

Once your page is looking perfect, share it on social media. Every share is worth about £5 in donations.

Impress your boss by linking to your company’s Profile on JustGiving. It could boost donations by 20%.

Give your supporters a quick snapshot of what you’re doing and why. It could raise an additional 9%.

Twenty percent of donations come in after the event. You never know who might still be feeling generous…

People will give more if they know why you care. Add your story to your page.

There’s strength in numbers – people that are part of a team raise 10% more.

Give people an extra reason to donate. “If I raise half my target in a week I’ll dye my hair blue.”

“For me, memories flood back when talking about the past, like the time when my ears were full to the brim with mental health diagnoses when I was 13 years old, to the times when I was water-hosed at 6am for sleeping on a street behind a hotel. As well as the times that I was called “scum of the Earth”, kicked around and beaten when sleeping rough.

But it also reminds me that all of those memories and all of my experiences can be shared to get policies and laws changed. I am growing in confidence and my dedication to making our voice heard drives me forwards today and in my future; campaigning for change.

It’s important that everyone has a quality of life. Who is anyone to say who can and can’t have that? It upsets me because I know that isn’t the reality. I have friends with mental health problems who don’t have what I have, a nice

flat. Not something which is dark and dingy and makes them feel worse about themselves, but instead the feeling of a place to call home.

It is the support I’ve received over the years and building strong and positive relationships with people that has enabled me to rebuild my life. What I have achieved up to now is me knowing that I’m making progress in my recovery.

It is also with thanks to the supporters of St Mungo’s, people like you.”

“I moved to Jamaica at the

age of 11 then moved back to

London at 23. At that time

we lived in my Stepdad’s

house with my Mum and

Sister. It was a one bedroom

council flat and it became

overcrowded, so I moved into

the spare room at a friend’s

house. To cut a long story

short I got evicted. It was

one of the hardest journeys

of my life but I struggled

and pulled through the

difficult times.

After a lot of moving back

and forth with different

family members, I became

a client of St Mungo’s through my local council and currently live at a St Mungo’s hostel in Southwark. I am really happy and

grateful for being referred to St Mungo’s as

otherwise, my life would

have fallen apart.

Now I am getting involved in

every aspect of this

organisation as a client and

also as a volunteer. I have

grown and acquired necessary

skills that I need to be an

asset to the wider society.

St Mungo’s is like a family

not only to me but to every

other client because many of

us do not have families but

St Mungo’s staff shows the

clients love and also give a

listening ear to us when

things get topsy-turvy.

We live among such amazing

people with good advice that

will lead us in the right

direction even when times

get dark and gloomy.

Thanks for reading my story.

I hope you enjoy supporting

St Mungo’s.”
