Get sponsored!
Do you enjoy walking, running, cycling, swimming or even staying silent for 24 hours? Are you interested in woodland and the environment? If so, have you ever thought of the Woodland Trust as the benefactor of your effort?
Across the UK there are numerous large organised events that you could register with, such as the London or Edinburgh Marathons, Bath or Glasgow Half Marathons or the London 10k run to name but a few. If you prefer, why not create your own challenge event for example a cycle challenge from Land's End to John O’Groats? Either is a great way of raising money to help us.
Online fundraising: the easy way to raise sponsorship!
To help you raise funds more efficiently the Woodland Trust is working with Justgiving to enable you to set up your own online sponsorship page so that your friends and relatives across the world can make a donation with just a click of a button.
By creating your online sponsorship page you can:
- Email your personalised page to all your friends, family and colleagues. E.g. www.justgiving.com/yourname
- Personalise your page with a photo, message and fundraising progress. Friends can also leave messages of support.
- Money is transferred directly into our bank (When someone sponsors you, you will receive an e-mail notification. You will also have access to a page giving you a breakdown of the money you have raised.)
- Raise money from people you wouldn’t normally see in person – including the taxman! If your sponsors pay tax, this system will allow us to collect an additional 25%.
It takes just 5 minutes to set up your sponsorship page, simply visit www.justgiving.com, click “For Fundraisers” and follow the instructions to build your page.
So, help us create and preserve the beautiful woods and forests of Great Britain for future generations to enjoy by choosing us as your charity and creating an online donation form today!
Please remember that by adding your page to the Justgiving website you will be agreeing to our standard disclaimer.
