Q&A
Q: Where does my donation go?
The choice is yours. If you want to support our Breast Care Unit, our Critical Care Unit or our Eye Department, you can! Any donations given to our current appeal are greatly appreciated.
If you’re struggling on where to donate to, please see our Charitable Funds page for more details.
Q: How do I fundraise?
How you fundraise is up to you! All we ask is that you enjoy yourself whilst doing so. If you want to climb a mountain, do a bake sale or hold a bucket collection at your local supermarket, you can. Please make sure to get in contact with us if you need any help.
If you’re unsure on what to do, please download our Fundraising Pack and Sponsored Pack for some inspiration.
Q: Why do you choose JustGiving?
As an online fundraising page platform, we prefer to promote our JustGiving page. This is because JustGiving allows donors to also give Gift Aid if applicable. This extra 25% from the government soon adds up to boost your fundraising.
JustGiving is also simple to use and set up. If you need further help in setting up your JustGiving page, please email us at [email protected]
Q: How do I promote my event?
We have found that the best way to promote your event is by sharing your fundraising by using your social media platforms. When using social media please tag us in. We love to see your posts and to share them to our followers. We are on Facebook and X (Twitter).
You can also make posters about your event and stick them up physically, or online, around your work and local areas.
Q: How can you help promote my event?
We can promote your event by sharing your fundraising story on our social media pages, promoting your event on our Events page, showcasing your event in our newsletter and designing posters for you to use.
If you want your fundraising journey in the local press, please email the charity about your fundraising event as we may be able to help you.
Q: What happens afterwards?
After your fundraising event, make sure you count all your donations and submit your donations. You can do this in a number of ways including giving cash, cheques or a bank transfer. Please see our Donate section form more information.
Your generous gift will be acknowledged with a finance receipt and a letter. In order to do that, could you please provide us with a name and address when you donate.
