How to promote your fundraiser

• Promote the cause: If people know the inspiration behind your fundraising and the difference their donation makes, they'll be much more likely to support you.

• Use social media: Social networking sites such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter are brilliant tools when it comes to promoting a fundraising event. Choose your platform and go for it!

• A picture says a thousand words: Use photos throughout your fundraiser to personalise your event, give updates and attract more attention. Make sure someone is lined up to take photos, or take selfies, this will be a big help when it comes to collecting donations. 

• Use your local media: Contact your local paper explaining what you're up to. You can also contact your local radio stations to push for a plug on air and if you're feeling really ambitious, why not approach your local TV news teams to see if they'll cover your story?
