3. Set a target.
Set a target that's ambitious but also realistic. This challenges your the people you reach out to, to dig deeper. If you need help setting a target you could take a look at Must Have Gifts and recent campaigns.
4. Get Creative.
Think about fun ways to boost your fundraising. Decide to host a games night or bake sale - these are great ways to gain those extra pennies for your fundraising.
5. Get online!
Set up a page on a fundraising platform like JustGiving, so as many people as possible can donate with the click of a button. Make the page personal by using a photo of you, telling people why you’re doing it and why the cause matters to you.
6. Challenge others.
Encourage friends to fundraise with you, sharing your knowledge to boost their fundraising skills. If you’re doing a sporting challenge, you could get people to do it alongside you and double the network of friends and family that can be asked.
