About Justgiving
We are delighted to announce you are now able to make donations to SCAMPPS via our new link on the Justgiving website. You can either make a one-off donation or can use it to set up a fundraising page for an event. Simple!
What is justgiving?
Since its launch in 1999, justgiving.com has raised over 370 million pounds for over 5,000 UK charities. It’s most popular use is for on-line sponsorship of fundraising events (such as Team Laws, see page 3) but also enables people to make a one-time donation to their chosen charity with the simple use of credit/debit card or now PayPal. One popular route is for people to set up a donation list in lieu of gifts i.e. ask people to donate to your chosen charity on Justgiving.com instead of giving a wedding or birthday present.
Why use justgiving?
Setting up a fundraising page with justgiving is quick, easy and free, and making donations is 100% secure. Receiving donations from justgiving is tax efficient for SCAMPPS and reduces our administration costs.
Tell your friends and family about your page and they will be able to donate online with a credit or debit card - so no more running around with paper sponsorship forms, or chasing cheques and cash after your event.

Tips on making the most of your fundraising page
Personalise your page as much as possible: Add photos and write a personalised message.
- Email your close friends first. They tend to be more generous and encourage future donors to give more.
- Contact your local paper, radio and TV stations and tell them about your fundraising efforts.
- justgiving has a widget that helps you spread the word on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.
- If you are completing an event, write to your friends again with an update on your activities after the completion of the event, as about 20% of donations on Justgiving come in after the event has taken place.
