3. Set and share your goals

Set your goals and share your progress with regular updates. Add your training updates in the ‘challenge’ section on your fundraising page and don't forget to share them on social media.

4. Donate to your page

The numbers show that others are more likely to donate if your page is already off the mark and a step towards your goal.

5. Encourage Gift Aid

Remind your family and friends that they can boost their donations by 25% with no extra cost to them if they gift aid their donation! 

6. Start a team!

Set up a team in seconds and then share it directly with family and friends to join. It's so simple and you can use that team spirit to transform the lives of cancer patients with your fundraising.

2. Extra fundraising ideas to help top up your total

1. Ask your workplace about matched fundraising. Lots of companies have matched funding schemes which can be a really easy way of adding to your total, so check with your workplace or ask your sponsors to check whether their donation can be matched.

2. Host a cake sale or coffee morning at school or work, or in your neighbourhood, and invite friends or colleagues. It can be in person or online.

3. Have a birthday or celebration coming up? Ask for donations towards your Banham Marsden March fundraising as a gift suggestion.

4. Have a clear out for cash. Spring clean around the house and sell unwanted items on eBay, or at a car boot sale. Then simply add the profits as a donation to your fundraising page.

5. Host a movie night, games night or dinner party at home and ask your friends and family to donate to attend.
