Fundraising Tips!

 

How to stage your own fundraising event:

First of all - thank you for choosing to fundraise to support ABC UK's much-needed work! We hope this information sheet helps you with some of the practical questions you might have as you start your fundraising. 

 

1. Choose what you are going to do

If you don't know where to start, take a look at our fundraising page, or pick up a flyer for fundraising tips. Or you can contact us at events@actionbladdercanceruk.org for advice.

       
 2. Plan your event
Set your date, and make sure make sure it doesn't clash with any major events.Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to organise everything. Make a checklist and use that as a guide to know exactly what needs to be done.
 
 3.  Raise money
Fundraising online:
Creating your own online fundraising page can be the easiest way for people to find your fundraising information so that they can support you and make a donation online. It's simple to set up, and is a quick and easy way for your friends and family to donate - and the money you raise is sent safely and quickly direct to Action Bladder Cancer UK.
Give yourself long enough to fundraise - some people set up their fundraising page several months before they are doing the main event. It is also an idea to leave your fundraising page open for a while after your event so that people can still donate.
 
There are many online platforms you can use to start fundraising for Action Bladder Cancer UK, but we always encourage our supporters to set up a JustGiving fundraising page:
  • Head to www.justgiving.com 
  • Click ‘Start fundraising'
  • Click ‘I'm fundraising for a charity'. 
  • Login to your JustGiving account/sign up for an account.
  • You will be asked to search for the charity you are fundraising for - Action Bladder Cancer UK.
  • Then you can go through the stages of setting up your page - what event it is, why you are doing it and more information for your supporters.
  • We suggest you personalise your page with a photo and update your supporters every step of the way.? Don't forget to add your fundraising target in too.

Fundraising online can be an easy way to collect donations - people can make a donation online using their phone or a computer, they can leave you a personal message, the money will come directly to ABC UK, and the donor will also have an option to add Gift Aid to their donation which will increase the funds coming to ABC UK.

 

Sponsorship form:

You can use a sponsorship form to fundraise for Action Bladder Cancer UK if you don't want to fundraise online. Please download the form here or we can happily send you one by contacting info@actionbladdercanceruk.org

If you collect any cash, please ask us for a collection bucket or tin if you need one. You can make a payment to your own JustGiving page to the value of the cash donations. If you have raised a lot of cash, get in touch with us and we can send you a form to pay this into a bank over the counter.

If some of your supporters want to donate another way, they can make cheques payable to Action Bladder Cancer UK and you can collect these and send them directly to us.    

If you're going to fundraise for Action Bladder Cancer UK and have either signed up for one of our events or have your own ideas for fundraising, you will want to think about the best way to get your friends and family involved in supporting you and how to collect donations.
 
4. Tell us what you're doing  
Remember to get in touch with us as soon as you start fundraising so that we can support you - we will send you a 'Supporters Awareness Pack' which includes: posters, leaflets, running vest/performance t-shirt, hat/cap, badges, wristbands, balloons, awareness z-cards AND some fundraising flyers with a 'Text to Donate' code and a QR code, so you can easily receive donations from supporters!

We can also put details of what you're up to on our social media. We love to hear our fundraisers' stories.    
 

5. Tell us when you've done it!

Don't forget to let us know when you've completed your event or fundraising activity - so we can thank you properly!
