Organising a fundraising event is one of the best ways to support a charity, and with JustGiving, it couldn’t be easier to set up and manage!

The Foundation for Liver Research have a charity page on JustGiving, so that when you set up a fundraising event, you don’t have to worry about collecting or transferring money. JustGiving also lets potential supporters know that donations will be coming straight to us to fund our research.

Fundraising through JustGiving allows your supporters to easily add Gift Aid to their donation, increasing its value by 25% at no extra cost to themselves.

Gift Aid is a UK government tax scheme that allows registered charities to claim 25% of eligible donations form HMRC, meaning that every eligible £1 donated becomes £1.25 in crucial funding.

Some ideas for fundraising events include:

• Sponsored Challenges - activities like walks, runs, bike rides, swims, either individually or as a group, are a great way to get active while supporting a worthy cause

• Bake Sales - selling homemade treats at local venues or at your place of work will get colleagues or communities together while fundraising

• Auctions or Raffles - offering items or experiences in a prize draw or to the highest bidder are a great way to involve a charity in a corporate or community event

• Themed Dress Days - encouraging participants to wear specific attire, such as festive jumpers or fancy dress, are another fun option for charity events at work or school
