Step 2: Set-up your online fundraising page
After choosing your fundraising activity, it’s time to set up an online fundraising page! Having an online fundraising page is like a digital sponsorship form – you can share your page, collect donations online and send them directly to Place2Be.
Use JustGiving, one of the UK’s largest online fundraising platforms, to create your page. Personalise it by adding your story, a fundraising target, and photos. Once you’re set up you can easily share it with friends, family and colleagues to start seeing those pounds roll in.

Step 4: Share your plans
It’s time to start telling your friends and family about your fundraiser! Share your JustGiving page in a personal message to friends and family, or share it far and wide through social media. Keep everyone up-to-date with your progress, whether you’re training for an event or preparing for your own fundraiser.
