Get personal
Start with your close friends and family. They are your core group of supporters so they must be the first to know what you are doing and why you have chosen SportsAid as your charity.
Whatever your reason for raising money – perhaps it’s something you have always wanted to do or this is a cause you are really passionate about – you must communicate this well and without hesitation. The more people you can get behind you, the easier it will be to hit your target.
Your close friends and family are also likely to be some of the most generous sponsors you have, so make sure that you ask for their support before you approach anyone else. Sponsors tend to match other donations on your fundraising page/form so the larger the first donations are the better.
Be proud of your fundraising page, too. Make it eye catching. Get some decent photos on there and make your personal message passionate. And once it's done, don't forget to keep the page updated.
