Set up a Fundraising Page in aid of Prostate Scotland

Our preferred fundraising page provider is JustGiving.  Setting up a page is straightforward and saves you a lot of time.

JustGiving enables you to:

  • Set up your own personal online fundraising site very quickly.
  • Explain what you are doing, why you are doing it, the charity of your choice and set your own fundraising target.
  • See your sponsors and their messages of support, and even allows you to have a special automatic thank you facility to acknowledge and thank your supporters and sponsors.
  • Donate immediately and add any Gift Aid directly if appropriate.
  • See how much you have raised towards your own target by simply pressing a button.

Just follow the steps below to create your own page for Prostate Scotland:

  • Go to justgiving.com and in the bottom left-hand corner of the dialogue box is a question ‘New to Just Giving?’ Click Sign up and then enter your details and create a password.
  • When asked ‘Are you fundraising for a registered charity?,’ select ‘Yes, continue’.
  • Search for Prostate Scotland and select us – this allows the money you have raised to be automatically allocated to Prostate Scotland without you having to do anything else.
  • You can select whether you’re taking part in an event, celebrating an occasion, fundraising in memory of someone or doing your own thing.
  • If you can’t see your event listed, select ‘Add your own’ at the bottom of the page and tell everyone a bit more about your activity.
  • Choose your web address – this is the link you’ll be sharing with friends and family when asking them to donate.
  • Tick ‘Yes’ if you’re running a bake sale, or selling tickets to an event, raffle or auction. Donations to your Page won’t be eligible for Gift Aid. Find out more here.
  • Click ‘Create your page’ and off you go!
  • Further help and assistance can be found here or contact us at info@prostatescotland.org.uk or on 0131 603 8664

Your Fundraising Page is now set up and ready to accept donations. The money that you raise will be sent to Prostate Scotland directly.
